The Rock In Nasrudin's Garden Poem by Raj Arumugam

The Rock In Nasrudin's Garden



the gathering declares
with great sagacity
how one’s strength decreases
with age:
One is stronger when young;
Weaker when one is old

I disagree, says Nasrudin
I’m just as strong old
as when I was young

How so? asks the gathering
Explain yourself!

Well, I cannot lift
the rock in my garden -
just the same as when I was young!
