I have a head and body too
legs and feet attached with glue
set like pegs on stairway cases
calves differ as they bear knobbed faces
knees developed in players who kick
crawlers get washed when pet dog licks
sets of hairy muscled supports
rush around to confer reports
flex and stretch on nephews and nieces
crossed on metros, extended in pieces
ingenious invention
sit and laps are formed
born the wrong way...malformed
milkless diet...they curve and bend
without which...on roadside skids to fend..

Martin, I have loved all of your body parts series, but this is my favourite I think - mostly because of the knobbly knees

Your medical education is showing here, Martin...
I love these anatomical poems of yours.

Maureen,

Sure it started with I have a Mouth, cause someone entitled theirs, I have no Mouth..that inspired this thought of me describing myself as a speaker.

Keth,

somebody you know has knobby knees?..hehe

Thanks for coming by, visited your website and enjoyed your choice of pics

Lyra,

Come to think of it I thought of Dr. Seuss and how he might have written a children's book in this manner, any similarities are just coincidental
