On the Subject of Organs

by wormsworms

Don’t read this if you’re squeamish, Or if you’re eating food at the present, Since some of the subjects discussed in this poem, Are let’s just say rather unpleasant, On the subject of donating organs, Or the subject of organs at all, It’s not unusual for my claims to leave, Some subjects feeling pretty appalled, Now I’d say that most people die, In fact I’d vouch that it happens quite often, But when my time comes, set has my sun, I want all of me in that coffin, Now I get it, I’d save lives if I donated, And I don’t mean to sound like a jerk (yes I do), But the unmissable flaw, the foot in the door, Is that not all of my parts seem to work, My eyes are screwy, my heart’s far too cold, The state of my lungs’ll make you shiver, My kidneys too small, I'm not sure I have a pancreas, And don’t get me started on my liver, And let me tell you with a face like mine, Not showcasing this beauty’s a sin, But it’s awfully hard to have an open casket, If I’m not sporting any of my skin It’s selfish and weird I know that, But my eyes are where my soul is exposed! …Yeah actually my soul’s pretty tainted, Can someone make sure that my eyes are closed? I only want those I love to have a part of me, So if I’m forced, if I’m forced, to partake, - - - They’ll be frying up my organs, For refreshments at my wake.

Short poem I wrote after a debate on organ donation (which I am all for by the way)
