While all my fingers have each three

Phalanges that are strong but wee,

But my poor thumbs can only boast

Of two phalanges at the most.

My lower limbs are proud to own

A sturdy thigh or femur bone.

This useful bone is very long

And joined by a patella strong

To two stout bones within my leg,

One like a flute, one like a peg,
