Touch Zone

Touch Zone

The legs are for walking.
The eyes are for seeing.
The ears are for hearing
The muscles for fleeing.

The hands are for moving
your stuff all around.
The feet are for keeping
yourself on the ground.

The hair keeps the head warm
when weather gets cold.
The nose is for smelling
when things start to mold.

The butt is for sitting.
The head is for thinking.
The fingers for feeling.
The eyelids for blinking.

The skin is for holding
your insides in place.
The fat is just there
to fill up the space.

The joints are for moving
your limbs when you need.
The stomach's for birthing
if you choose to breed.

The heart is for pumping.
The teeth are for eating.
Your toes are for balance.
Tear ducts are for grieving.

The torso's for holding
your body erect.
Your tongue is for talking.
Hey, what'd you expect?

If a place just to touch
is the cause of your hunt.
With permission you'll find
you can touch what you want.

--Daryl Molen
