_(To the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")_
Digestive system, oh how you work,
Breaking down food, it's quite the perk.
From mouth to stomach, intestines too,
You make sure our bodies get what they need to do.
Teeth and saliva start the show,
Chewing and mixing, let the flavor flow.
In the stomach, acid takes its stand,
Breaking down proteins, giving it a chance.
Next comes the small intestine's dance,
With enzymes and bile, it's quite the trance.
Digesting carbs and fats, and oh my gosh,
Absorbing nutrients, it's quite the boast.
Large intestine, water's out the door,
Forming stool, that's what it's for.
The colon says goodbye to what's been chewed,
And out it goes, a journey well reviewed.
Digestive system, oh how you work,
Breaking down food, it's quite the perk.
From mouth to stomach, intestines too,
You make sure our bodies get what they need to do.
