"When a Bone Breaks"

When a bone breaks

The area really aches

Blood vessels are damaged

And there’s no advantage

They form hematoma

Which is a swollen area

It prevents bleeding

And your body does the leading

 

Bone cells join the broken ends

And it might heal fast

But it really depends

And you’ll get a cast

 

When a bone breaks

The area really aches

Blood vessels are damaged

And there’s no advantage

They form hematoma

Which is a swollen area

It prevents bleeding

And your body does the leading

 

Soft bones slowly reform

And it won’t be in the original form

Bone Building cells create soft bone

And you may have grown

 

When a bone breaks

The area really aches

Blood vessels are damaged

And there’s no advantage

They form hematoma

Which is a swollen area

It prevents bleeding

And your body does the leading

 

Compressed bone forms

And it strengthens the area

And the area reforms

But you won’t get malaria {Probably}

 

When a bone breaks

The area really aches

Blood vessels are damaged

And there’s no advantage

They form hematoma

Which is a swollen area

It prevents bleeding

And your body does the leading

 

Bones can repair

And you won’t be in despair

There are two types of bone

Destroyers and Builders

 

When a bone breaks

The area really aches

Blood vessels are damaged

And there’s no advantage

They form hematoma

Which is a swollen area

It prevents bleeding

And your body does the leading
