Zen Master Zara

"Zara desperately wanted to be a Master of Zen
But kept falling short of this goal again and again
For every time she got into her lotus pose
Is when all her distracting thoughts arose
She would start thinking about going out to chase mice
Or how a can of tuna for dinner would be oh so nice
She thought of all types of things as her mind rambled on
And just when she would start to focus, out came a yawn
But as her eyes got heavy and she settled onto the floor
Is when she had herself a realization like never before
Zara had figured out how to overcome this complication
She would simply count sleeping as her meditation"
