rhyme scheme: bones for sale.

i have some bones for sale,
especially for you,
rib bones, knee bones, neck bones,
and my funny bones too.

shining white, they glisten too,
never cracked, only bruised,
here they are, just for you,
never broken, hardly used.

ribs are nice for decoration,
a place to hang your coat.
practical and useful,
to whittle a new boat.

you could float away,
the crevice of my knee,
but if you'd rather this, not that,
you may use them to serve tea.

just drink me up,
in one big sip,
then lay your head,
inside my hip.

yes, use me up,
bone by bone,
pay me later,
take a loan.

bones for sale,
tear me apart,
have all of them,
but i'll keep my heart.
