Body Poem: Blood and Arteries

There are tons of arteries in your body.
When you read this, please don't act naughty.
And the biggest artery's the aorta.
All the arteries I cannot sorta.

In the arteries travels blood
there is so much it could cause a flood,
but blood is my bud,
so don't call it mud.

The internal and external jugular veins
are not to keep coffee in, or to catch rain
it's just like a highway, but blood instead of cars.
It consistently travels through your body,
pretty far

(looking at map trying to figure out where to go nextJ) "Oh no, I'm holding it upside down, DUH! Hmm, where should we go… AHA! This way…

 

Conclusion: What a weird part of history, am I right? Well that was fun anyway! Don't you agree? I guess there weren't really witches. I don't believe in witches anyhow. So how about we head over to Old York for a look at commerce in the 17^th century? ( look at map) "Not Again"J
