Divine Tree Pose

Baapolis Volume 1 Chapter 16

Dec 18, 2024

The goats decide to hang Kopernicus upside down on a tree. Blood flowing to the head may change the motivation of a living being.

Bali is at the center of this decision. The other goats muster all their strength to help Bali accomplish this goal.

Houdini checks for the security of the ribbon tie, at first one would think he’s checking for Kopernicus’ safety, yet on closer look, it seems that Houdini is checking the sturdiness of the suspension so that he can namaste on Kopernicus’ wooly bum.

In the distance, Aali and Bali argue which one of their sports is more. Aali is not convinced that upside down yoga can win Kopernicus any ewes and Bali criticizes that ramming is all show no substance. Cali budges in to argue that nothing is above kale protein.

Bali finally gathers the resolve to hit the gong to shut everyone up. Houdini transits into full meditative mode.

In this mushy state of mind, Kopernicus attempts his meditation: floating through honey, strawberries, cherries, pies, muffins, and cakes of all shapes.

The buzzing of bees’ chatters interrupt his delicious dream…

The bees gossip about a planned wedding alreadh in motion for Kopernicus and General Iris shall have her ways even if Kopernicus doesn’t win at the games, for General Iris is known to make things happen, her way.

Kopernicus can no longer hold his cool, his wool hairs jut out in full fury towards all directions. This startles Houdini! Soon, the ribbon starts to rip, rip, rippidy…riiiiiipppppp!

THUD! Kopernicus hits the ground with all his two hundred pounds! The earth shakes with him. In those vibrations, the earth gently rolls Kopernicus off - away from these unpleasantries.

The goats are heated in argument. “A divine tree pose is the ultimate…” During Bali’s mid sentence, as their hooves sense the large mass rolls away, they realize … uh oh…

Houdini shakes awake, humphs, “There goes my nap!”
