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.

Moving Your Metatarsals
This is dedicated to Julia Ward
Unsure of where poetry ship is moored.
Distinctly from every ones due accord
We are looking forward to reading Ward
Who has been known as new creator
Of what we call the jovial Julia navigator.
Look forward to having her poems around
Read them and end up becoming spellbound
By each and every intricate item she will write
Tasted like steak and out of want to take a bite.
Never need to bite off more than you can chew
And without further adieu there are a few
Of her profound poems issued out in parcels
To access better start moving your metatarsals.
