Bluebeard's bones
clavicles flummoxed
tibias ivory
fibulas distal

ulnas for being silly
radii porous marrow
humerus in a dark castle
mandible messed up
maxilla crushed
frontal scarred
occipital osteo
temporal el corazon
anvil of spirits

carpals he cannot resist
metacarpals the evil kind
ribs to run, amok
sternum will run
thumb known
fingers whimpers
toes wicked
legs blueberries
elbows bluebells
whiskers on Halloween
smiles and what is he doing
winks and why
