Serious Mysore Question? Urine luck!

[Guest guest]

The exchange between Mouze (11262), Little

(11308) and willinasia (11217) along with the discussion

of Mr. Deveraux's drinking habits, have weighed on

penned the words to the song that follows. It is a

humble attempt to bring yuletide cheer to readers of

this list, especially to all of the aquisitive yoga

students in search of the best value for their yoga
