My Aching Back! (Limerick)
Oh, what have I done to my back?
It’s been painfully thrown out of whack.
Worst of all, there’s no tale
To explain my travail;
One false move, and I’m spasming. Ack!!!

Humbly suggest
spasming, Alack!
JUst don’t think it’s OK to give “spasming” three syllables. Otherwise your work is wonderful.
From MBK: Thanks for your kind words and suggestion. I actually struggled with the spasming syllables issue. I even looked it up in howmanysyllables.com, which does agree with you.
However, I pronounce it in the same 3-syllable way that the woman does in this audio clip.
