Spine and nervous you do make me~

Spine of nerves

You do make me, you make me

first, and spend more time on only me,

before all the other parts, you

breath life into me, making me so strong

that I can handle nearly anything

that may come my way- and still you quiz

me year after year- and test me

and grade me, like I am yours to grade

and test, but I resist- because I have

more fun in my other lobes where life

is less complex.

I do best on the food they call

"brain" food, and gee I wonder why?

Oh could it be, because I rest here

behind the eye?

Maybe, who knows, maybe I am a brain

in charge of just a few

more  things than riddles living

in my skull.  My home is filled

with a million zillion cells or so

that people probe at trying to get

to all that I know-

but there is only one way in

and one way out

and you must ask me nicely

or I will just look right at you

and ask you if your insane-
