Frontal does the thinking
Occipital deals with vision
Parietal senses objects
and Temporal listens

Inside these lobes there's specialties
Like Broca's Area which produces speech
Wernicke's area handles language comprehension
and the Motor Cortex is for moving with intention

The brain parts list is much longer, indeed
But for my class assignment this is all I need
