My youngest son recently had a project to do at school on the Digestive System and one of the things he was required to do was include a poem. Below is a poem I wrote for him to use so that he didn't have the same one as anyone else. Feel free to use it if you have a similar project (or if you just like random poetry!). It is simply titled "The Digestive System Poem".
When looking at the digestive system,
You'll find saliva right there at the start,
Then chew and swallow all your food,
So the oesophagus can do its part.
Following on from that is the stomach,
With strong muscles and gastric juice,
After that comes the small intestine,
Have you ever wondered, "what's its use?"
Working with the gallbladder,
As well as the pancreas and liver,
It separates all the bits of food,
Until it runs just like a river.
Then comes the large intestine,
Where the colon is as well,
The colon takes the bits it needs,
And leaves the leftovers to expel.
They head over to the rectum,
Until it is time for them to go,
Then right out through the anus,
And that's all you need to know!
