The spleen can be a peculiar thing Riding high just above the jeans When it no longer serves its purpose And the doctors say that it must leave
Oh how the spleen once stood so proud With the vertebrates in the local crowd Now we give it the old collage wave As the doctors toss it out
Where it goes nobody knows To spleen heaven? Do they have those? If all dogs go to heaven Then with spleens we can only hope
That one day we will reunite With our missing spleens in paradise If you ask me that sounds real nice I just hope they keep it on ice
I have a friend that her mother is being operated on tomorrow...removal of the spleen. Thought it called for a good (that's debatable) poem. P.S. My friend loved it...not sure about her mother.
