20150614: How will I pull up my pants?

A wolf appears to have caught me;
it didn't seem too bad to start -
it ate my flexor carpi radialus
in a mighty screaming snap.

So, I thought, that's that!
The chance's remote
of a repeat attack 
of such a rare event;

but then it appeared 
on the other side; and leered -
it liked the taste of the other one
and is nibbling that one : the hide!

After that,  I was suddenly weary.
I'll manage without, I'm sure
But I'm left with an interesting query
How will I pull up my pants?

(it's not really a wolf, I know
and I'm sure it sounds lame,
but when  I think of my enemy
I like to know his name)

But there's more! Today,
to my despair, as I struggled
with my pants, my wolf sniggered,
I heard him move about-

He's found a flexor digitalis superficialus
perhaps he likes it on a whim
Maybe instead I could interest him
in a nice sounding hallux valgarus instead?

I googled flexors until my eyes bled.
I spoke to my advisors, and said:
I asked them this: Pray,
Why is there no wolf repellant spray?

My advisors answered with a shrug and a pout;
They've never been able to work it out.
So tell me, sirs, if you can,
How will I pull up my pants?
