The Many Parts of Me
Mum’s nose, Dad’s toes
Gramps’ knees, Gran’s sneeze
Nana’s skin, Granddad’s grin
Uncle’s hips, Auntie’s lips
Great-Gran’s thumbs, Great-Gramps’ gums
Brother’s eyes, Sister’s size
Outside, I’m like other folks
But inside, I’m just ME!
Gramps’ knees, Gran’s sneeze
Nana’s skin, Granddad’s grin
Uncle’s hips, Auntie’s lips
Great-Gran’s thumbs, Great-Gramps’ gums
Brother’s eyes, Sister’s size
Outside, I’m like other folks
But inside, I’m just ME!
