I looked into a mirror, took each one apart Someone had asked me, What's your favourite body part? Why not your eyes? Ah, those ones betray me so easily when I cry Your ears? No, they too quickly give into their fears Thought you'd say your lips They are pretty, yes. But make many regrettable slips Your nose? Oh, it is too large and tends to spoil many a pose And your teeth? The top row is straight, but not those beneath But your hands? Ha, they get busy and selfish with their finds And your feet? Hmm... That's an idea but they're not too neat What about your legs? They'd sure do well if we compare them to pegs Surely, your lungs? They'd do anything for air, to whom do they really belong? I know, I know! Your brain! It'd be the best, if I could remember everyone's name☺ Someone asked, "what's your favourite body part?" One that has stayed loyal to me from the very start If I must choose a part, that would be my heart ♥

My Favourite Body Part
