ned
had a head
that was quite the shade of red
he kept it mostly in his bed
when i asked him, this he said

shane
had a brain
that was twice the size of maine
if you asked him, he'd explain
to do math, he needs a crane

meg
had a leg
that was brittle as an egg
she'll replace it with a peg
to pay for surgery, she'll beg

i
have a sigh
that is neither low nor high
some mistake it for "goodbye"
and some for a quiet cry
