A SKELETON IN MY BED !

BRIAN & ANGELA



 

 

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 !

            THANKS CHRIS ~ Pleased you liked it ~ As a NURSE you know the function and importance of every Bone and the importance of diet & exercise ! I always try to emphasise the importance of our bones and skeleton ~ to all my pre-med students. Because we cant see our bones we can neglect them. I love X-rays because they give us so much information. Whenever I have a X-ray taken (for what ever reason) I always ask for a copy ! I have broken a few bones in my time but they have all knitted together OK. Do you like X-rays ? I've added a picture of Lily of the Valley to my FUSION ~ please check ~ it hilites the BELLS which you mentioned ~ OK Hugs & Blessings ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@

                Thanks SISTER ~ Pleased you liked it and your DAUGHTER ! It's great to be SEVEN (age of responsibility ?) and it most important that Children have self confidence & self respect and HUMAN BIOLOGY is a very important as it teaches "We are a wonderful creation ~ not just Physically but also Spiritually" Body ~ Mind ~ Spirit CREATED in God's likeness ! Sociology and Psychology and Bible Study are also important in their development. Young People are fresh out from God and I am always thrilled by how easily our Young Members in our CHURCH pray and how readily they accept and understand the Truths in the BIBLE including the Scientific Truths ~ AMEN ~ Yours BRIAN
