The Skeletal Poem

The human skeleton, is made up of 206 bones By jove, they are hard, as if made of stones! The brain you think with is in the Skull or Cranium, the Maxilla and the Mandible are for chewing bubble gum. It's atop the spine which has 33 Vertebrae in all You're sure gonna break it if there's a nasty fall. The 12 pairs of ribs act just like a big ring, while 10 fix to the Sternum the bottom 2 are Floating. The shoulder blade or the Scapula is joined with the Clavicle How they organize the movement Is another spectacle. The arms have the Humerus, the Radius and the Ulna, The hands' have wrist bones called Carpals (not made in China). With Metacarpals and Phalanges we complete our hand, don't you forget the lower limbs, upon which we stand. The hip bones make the Pelvis from which the Femur originate If you gyrate it like elvis the Patella is sure to break. Tibia and Fibula are there in the Shin The Tarsals and Metatarsals shape your feet as it's seen. Our journey ends here Let me take your leave, Take good care of your bones for as long as you live.
