Let me tell you about a face,
That's full of features in its place,
A nose that helps us breathe and smell,
And eyebrows that can wiggle well.

Above the nose are two round eyes,
They help us see and recognize,
The colors, shapes, and sizes too,
Of all the things that come in view.

Beneath the eyes, on either side,
Are cheeks where we love to hide,
When we're feeling shy or glad,
Or when we're feeling just a tad bit sad.

And just below the cheeks we find,
A chin that's strong and quite defined,
It helps us talk and laugh and eat,
And keeps our mouth from feeling beat.

Speaking of the mouth, let's not forget,
It's where our food and words are met,
We smile, we frown, we sing, we shout,
Our mouth is what it's all about.

So, there you have it, a face complete,
With features that are hard to beat,
The mouth, eyes, cheek, chin, nose, eyebrow,
All make a face that we're proud to show!
