The Spastic Trickster: ST


It started like a little pest,
this turning of my head.
Then the pain moved in
and gave me more to dread.

The first doctor said,
�It�s just a little stress,
I have some pills for you
They�ll help you get some rest.�

The second doctor said,
�Could be your disc.
A little physical therapy
should surely do the trick.�

The third doctor said
�A diagnosis is at hand.�
�Spasmodic Torticollis�
�What�s that? A foreign land?�

We will put toxin in your muscles.
It will stop the pain.
It will help your head position.
You have so much to gain.

Now I am a Botox veteran.
I�ve fought some painful wars.
I�ve found some fellow comrades.
We are the ST Corps.

It is a bizarre disorder.
This monster in our brain.
Each time we have it conquered.
It changes the rules of it�s game.
