An Ode to Human Anatomy ...

email from JKS Weerasekera
Where can a man buy a cap for his knee,
Or the key to a
 lock of 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?
