The Cabin on the Hill

A poem composed during Penny’s 5-week Vajrayogini Retreat
by her life partner, dear man Jean


There was a young lady Penny Jayne
Who thought it certainly sane
To realise the accomplishment
Of achieving enlightenment 
Without feeling any sort of pain

She spent five weeks in a cabin
Praying for it to soon happen
The weather was hot
She lay on her cot
And ‘twasn’t long before she was nappin’

However, the insight that came in her dream
Made her think of a wonderful scheme
So she sat ‘neath a tree
Then counted to three
And in her hands captured a sunbeam

The result of this catch was amazing
She felt like she was now gazing
Into the Sun
It was all just for fun
So now her plans she’s reappraising

The time spent on her own on the floor
Has made her wiser I know, that’s for sure
But the pain in her knees
Is now going to ease
As she’ll sit on a chair near the door
