HE WHO PREVAILED
I use my orbicularis oculi
To open not one but both green eye
Frontalis turns my face to surprise
As I realize cancer has reached its demise
Zygomaticus makes me give a wide smile
As I end a journey that’s gone many a mile
“It’s finally over”, I think to myself
Deltoid raises my arms, and I reach for the shelf
That holds my favorite Wilson racquet
Flexor-extensor digitorum group wraps fingers
round it
Triceps extend my arm as I swing
Biceps flex elbow, and arm forms a wing
I think to myself how much I miss tennis
But with the help of vastus medialis and
lateralis,
My knees will once again extend
Although immobilizer keeps leg straight for now,
Hamstrings flex knee
Allowing myself to sit comfortably
Buccinator whistles “Hail Purdue!”
What a passionate fan
Who loves his sports teams
One could say he is the Sports Man
Cubs, Colts, and Pacers are other teams of his
That he roots for cross-legged, thanks to

Bored in church, I place arms across chest with
pectoralis major
God disapproves, but He is no rager
The Loving Almighty looked down upon me
Carrying me through it all
Can’t you see?
Many a time have I sat on gluteus medius
And thought “Man, oh man is this journey
tedious!”
Rarely have I used platysma
to put a pout on my face
I have tried my best
to show the most gracious of grace
Rectus abdominus allows for crunches
While serratus anterior lets me throw punches
I strive to put myself in prime physical condition
To be in the best of the best position
In order to form a senior tennis coalition
Sternocleidomastoid turns my head side to side
When hearing I will get to meet Roger Federer,
So excited I nearly cried
There is one thing I’d like to say
And it is this:
Cancer’s gluteus maximus
Has been kicked!
When I get off crutches
I will jump for joy
Using gastrocnemius
Saying “Boy, oh boy!”
