Muscle

Gary the Gastrocnemius

(Tune Rudolf the Red-Nosed-Reindeer)

Written by: Dr. Kent Van De Graaff

 

You know Brachioradialis and Pronator teres

Deltoid, Gracilis, and Palmis Longus,

But do you recall, the most famous muscle of all?

 

Gary the Gastrocnemius was a very handsome leg,

But is his name were Gloria, he would really need a shave,

All of the upper muscles used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Gary join in any dexterous games

 

Then his body had to run from a swarm of bees.

Gary’s actin and myosin worked and really moved his knees

Then all of the muscles loved him, and depolarized with glee.

Gary the Gastrocnemius, you’ll go down in history.
