Dem Bones
Your toe bone's connected to your foot bone
That's usually how this ditty begins
Continuing on up there's your ankle bone
Commonly known as your shin
If you ever get kicked in your shin bone
You'll feel what is known as pain
Your eyes will cross and you'll wet yourself
Never wanna feel that again
Better to have your finger nails ripped out
With pliers and no anesthetic
Though that can be really painful as well
But ankle pain makes you frenetic
You'll utter words you didn't know you knew
But some will likely need deciphering
Probably create some new ones of your own
Block the ears of all the wee kidlings
Now if your ankle and head bones are connected
You've had some terrible mishap
Suggest you see a surgeon right away
Or your ass could wind up in your lap!
