Deep within your skull so round,
A world of wonder can be found,
Your brain, a marvel to behold,
A mystery waiting to be told.

Your cerebrum's the biggest part,
It's where your thoughts and feelings start,
Your lobes make sense of what you see,
And help you solve life's mysteries.

But there's more to your brain than that,
Your cerebellum keeps you on track,
It helps you move and keep your balance,
So you can dance and take your chance.

Your brain stem controls your heart and breath,
It keeps you going, even in death,
And deep inside, a network spreads,
A web of nerves that moves your head.

But how does all this work, you ask?
How can your brain do such a task?
It's all because of signals sent,
Through corpus callosum, they're all meant.

Your brain can decipher and interpret,
The signals that it must accept,
It makes you who you are today,
And helps you learn and grow each day.

So take good care of your brain, dear friend,
It's a precious gift that nature did send,
And with your cerebrum, cerebellum, and all the rest,
You can achieve anything and be your best!
