My Back is Sore

What two hours caused this pain
And racked my back with soreness?
Why can I not sit up straight
To displayed my regal erectness?

Was it the walking up the hill,
Or hurried steps back down it?
Should I blame the way I sleep,
Or find a more active culprit?

When I twist at my trunk,
Should my back pull near my neck?
And when I bend to lift something,
Should I have such trouble getting it?

I think I'll sleep for now,
And worry on conditions later.
Why fret over mysterious pains
When speculation is not a savior?
