Brilliantly written verse …For lovers of the English language
The Mysteries of Anatomy
Where can a man buy a cap for his knee,
Or the key to a lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy?
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of your head can jewels be found?
Who crosses the bridge of your nose?
If you wanted to shingle the roof of your mouth,
Would you use the nails on your toes?
Can you sit in the shade of the palm of your hand,
Or beat on the drum of your ear?
Can the calf in your leg eat the corn off your toe?
Then why not grow corn on the ear?
Can the crook in your elbow be sent to jail?
If so, just what did he do?
How can you sharpen your shoulder blades?
I’ll be darned if I know. Do you?

Very clever. I haven’t heard that one before. 😊
I love this!….and to continue this brilliant poem, just for fun:
I don’t, but I wish that I can play ball with my eye without slipping into the pit of my arm too! LOL
Pls contribute another fun verse for this poem Jasbir S. Randhawa John Wade Kim Sinclair Lucille Galleli Stephen Thackeray and anyone else in this group to continue the giggles 😃
Marilou Aballe OK, I had a go…
If I my teeth have wisdom like they say
Then couldn’t I just skip school?
And why was I given so many lashes?
Does that mean I’m a fool?
