Hi There
I’m what is called a human, thus I’m part of the human race,
And I’ve a mouth, two ears and eyes, and a nose sits on my face.
I have a hairy carpet that’s partly covering my head,
And because I get rather tired, I just spend each night in bed.
I also have two long legs, and both with a hip at one end,
Because, very regularly, I’ve a need to squat or bend.
And the other end of my legs are sporting two five toed feet,
Which keep me standing upright when I’m not sitting on my seat.
And in the middle of each leg, I have what is called a knee,
Which if I misplace bed socks, helps me to see where they might be.
And that knee can come in handy regarding a wife-to-be,
’Cause when one is proposing, one’s meant to go down on one’s knee.
I’m rather elongated, with the odd bulge here and there,
And my tummy has a button, but don’t ask me why it’s there.
I have also got two long arms, each with fingers and a hand,
Which I find can come in handy when attempting a head stand.
I find my toes quite useful for when a biscuit tin’s too high,
And the muscles in my legs, get-away speed, can soon supply.
And in the middle of my arms, I have elbows that help too,
’Cause when I’m feeling weary, I can lean on them, and oft do.
I have a neck that I can turn when I need to look around,
One that I can quickly tilt should any money hit the ground.
And I’ve a tongue and lots of teeth that enable me to eat,
All why my lips I’m oft licking, ’cause I’m partial to a treat.
And when those shoulders are massaged —
I have a back for lying on when the daily chores are done,
And I've a sense of humour, hence this poem that I hope's fun.
