Ode to Bone


Oh, calcium and phosphate
Makes me strong and tall;
If thou didst not bond together
I would not stand at all.

A shapeless blob would I be
If electrons thou didst not share,
And gladly does my cartilage serve up
Its substance to thy care.

Oh, be thou ever faithful
And I will do my part,
Milk and cheese wilt I ingest
Tho' they may harm my heart.

But when I old and hoary be
Thy strength shall not be less.
And I will still stand strong and tall
When I am at my rest.
