I thought I'd seen it all, and then I got a call from a guy in town. He said, "We want you to come help us do goat yoga." I said, "Goat what?" Yes, goat yoga is a thing.
So we rounded up some goats, we went into town and built a pen and watched it happen. This poem is called "You Go Yoga Goat."
I thought I had seen everything, but I was surely wrong
because I found something new when goat yoga came along.
We brought our goats to town, and we put them in a pen
where a bunch of people came and brought their mats on in.
Folks laid down on their mats and the instructors helped them move
through various positions, health and wellness to improve.
They would roll and move their body into various contortions,
which seemed to help them stretch by increasing proportions.
The goats would mill around them for however long it took,
while giving all the people a sniff or just a look.
When folks got on their hands and knees to make a tabletop,
the goats jumped on their back, and they didn't want to stop.
It was their first time seeing yoga, I am sure to note,
that I never ever, ever had seen yoga with a goat.
Happy trails.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
