Example Narrative:
Born in the bone marrow deep inside your long bone
I am one of TRILLIONS of my family that called this a home.
My body is flexible and my cell is not complete
I am missing a nucleus but I think it is neat.
Inside my body hemoglobin can be found
Allowing for oxygen to stick to me as I come around (the lungs)
