The lungs...

If I were an ode writer, I'd write an ode to the lungs. However, I am not, so you get a fun fact.

The surface area of the alveoli in the lungs of a human is about equal to the size of a tennis court.

Wow! All of that is inside your chest. God is amazing!

Jeanine,
Here is a sample ode for a lung ode:

The lung is such a wonderful organ.
I have two, named Moses and Morgan.
One fact about lungs is it belongs in the chest,
But here is the lung-fact we all love the best.
Our lungs contain, you cannot deny,
Many tiny little pieces called alveoli.
These small little gems, I'm pleas'd to report,
Has the same surface area as a tennis court.
