The Pilates Plank is known around the world,
Can you do it?
Birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let’s do it…
In Spain, the best upper sets do it
The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let’s do it…
Some Argentines, without means, do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let’s do it…
Romantic sponges, they say, do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let’s do it…
Cold Cape Cod clams, ‘gainst their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish, do it
Let’s do it…
In shallow shoals English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let’s do it…
Lets do the Pilates Plank!
