envious stretch


   Starting with the toes,
   Leaning from back to front.
   Curling muscles across the back.
   Never stressed,
   Elongated.
   Pushing out from nose to tail.

   I go from one appendage to the next.
   Toes than feet.
   Moving knees round and round.
   Swaying hips up and down,
   In hope the back pain settles down.

   The pets have it made.
   Each muscle is stretched in one continuous motion.
   No rubbing in of lotion.
   Cats join in under their shade,
   Stretching in from toes up to the back.

   As I sit,
   Moving each muscle getting ready to stand.
   Enviously disrupting my continuous stretch,
   As I do my best.
