Muscle Evaluation
poem and artwork by Eileen Martin
For hours a therapist tested my muscles,
(A process involving a series of tussles)
I boldly spoke up, so I'd not be misled,
To ask for his findings ... and here's what he said:
"Your triceps and biceps are pretty well shot,
And a trace of the dorci is all that you've got.
Your trapezius? Sleaziest muscle I've seen!
And your deltoid is void, if you know what I mean.
"Your peroneus longus is strongest of all,
And the sternohyoid and rhomboid have had a close call!
Anterior's inferior! Your gastrocs are sunk!
And so are the rest of your limbs and your trunk!
"Your pectorals, tensors, your quads and satorius
Aren't what's considered in muscles as glorious!
As a matter of fact, you have gone quite to pot!
But be a good patient and use what you've got!"
