*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?

Amazing English
Many parts of the body can be used as verbs in either a physical or a
metaphorical sense.

You can *head* a company, but if things go wrong you'll have to *shoulder*
the blame, or *face* your investors.
A good leader will *back* his employees, but if you don't *toe* the line
the management can *skin* you.
Did you *muscle* your way into that job?
You might *eye* someone suspiciously, or wait for the police to *finger* a
suspect. But avoid putting your *nose* in someone’s business.
But if you need to get out of town, you can *thumb* a ride or you can ride
with me if you can *stomach* the thought.
Use strong *arm* tactic if you want to *elbow* out someone.
I don't always sing along with the radio, but I sometimes do *mouth* the
words.
