A Limerick -- Because it Helps to Laugh when I'd Rather Cry!

My very helpful Physical Therapist Dr. Sanjoy Roy, who is helping me get my body back to some degree of pain free utility, said I needed to stretch my Quadratus Lumborum muscle.   This muscle, known as the "Q.L.,"  is a large, trapezoidal, deep abdominal muscle.  It is hard to find, but I'm working on it (along with a whole bunch of other exercises!) 

And I'm writing about it too!  Dr. Roy, this is dedicated to you!

A Roman who spoke at the Forum, 
Said "I fear that my speeches may bore 'em!
     People started to snore,
     And one dropped to the floor, 
And stretched out his Quadratus Lumborum!"



As I watch my active life disappear and spend my days working to restore what I can of my body, I need to laugh at something!  So writing this gives me a chuckle!
