Joey Contemplates a Skeleton

Joey Contemplating a Skeleton By Elton Camp The teacher told Joey to learn each bone by name And that there were only about 206 of the same The parietal, temporal and occipital are in the head At least that’s what the biology teacher then said The atlas and axis are two bones found in the neck Twelve vertebrae are attached to ribs if you check Lumbar, sacrum and their parts learn without fail And don’t forget the coccyx that looks like a tail Of the maxillae and mandible the jaws are made Collar bone is the clavicle; scapula shoulder blade Humerus in upper arm, ulna below, radius thumb side And in wrist and hand carpals & metacarpals reside Phalanges are found in both the fingers and the toes The femur, patella, tibia and fibula in the leg goes But this is only a small sample of what Joey must learn If an excellent grade in his biology class he will earn
