Head to Toe:
Boning Up on the Bones of the Body
Skull (n):
facial bone 7: mandible
Your lower
jawbone, which you drop
When wishing
to chew food or talk—
The mandible,
which does not stop
At pizza
joints—no, does not balk
When you are
in the eating mood—
Or talking’s
what you wish to do.
Oh, it will
crunch huge piles of food—
And gab and
gab the whole night through.
This bone’s
been with us for a while—
Since we
were making jungle calls.
We had no phones—we
roared in style
When we saw
those Neandertals.
