THERE\'S A SKELETON ~ inside of me
Now that\'s a scary thing
But without my SKELETON
I couldn\'t dance or swing !
My CRANIUM protects my Brain
It has two holes for Eyes
My MANDIBLE is flexible ~ for talk
And eating Grandmas Apple Pies !
My RIBS protect my Heart & Lungs
When I hug and kiss
My BACKBONE ~ lots of VERTEBRAE
Help me to bend and twist !
Each LEG contains four lovely bones
My PELVIS holds my FEMURS
PETELLAS join our TIB & FIB
So we can run like Lemurs!
TARSALS join my Legs and Feet
And PHLANGES make my Toes look neat
There\'s also PHLANGES in my Handies !
Our ARMS are so important .............
For our Hands they act as levers
My SCAPULA joins my HUMERUS ~ and
RADIUS & ULNA makes my arms complete
My CARPAL joins my PHLANGES ~ Hands like Feet !
My SKELETON has TWO - 0 - SIX bones (206)
Each one perfectly in place
My BONES dictate how tall I am
And the contours of my Face !
So please take care ~ protect your bones
Treat them gently ONE by ONE
You are not just a \"Bag of Bones\"
I am your PERFECT S K E L E T O N !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
We should never take our SKELETON for granted !
We should drink lots of MILK to provide CALCIUM
and have Phosphorus in our diet ~ BONE is Calcium
Phosphate. Modern surgery helps Seniors to keep
Physically Mobile all our Grandpas have replacement
Hips and Grandmas ~ \'cos they did the Prayin\' ~
replacement Knees. Take care and use a stick or a
stroller if you have to ~ and wear sensible shoes !
