My Bones

My bones stop me from falling apart,
My rib cage protects my lungs and heart,
My backbone supports all of me,
My hip, my ankle and of course my knee,
I forgot my little toe,
And of course my big nose.
If I hadn't got a wrist, I wouldn't be able toshake my fist.
The tiny stirrup in my ear
Helps me to listen and to hear.
My skull protects my head and brain,
So it doesn't get wet in the rain.
There are 206 bones in my body,
Without them I would be very wobbly.
