I say,
seems my things were bequeathed
Without my knowledge!
Isn’t my heart already spoken for?


(received in the post)

Dear Mr. Ledbetter

We thank you for having signed away your organs to us.
We appreciate your donation.
We hope you’ve, in turn,  enjoyed the half-generous donations deposited into your account some time ago.
You’ve been living off the proceeds of organs we will inherit one day.

And we trust you’ve been looking after *our organs
, especially your  heart.

Upon your final hour, we will reap the rest of you.
And we will offer the second half of a gift to your kin: a small donation and application forms.....

Have a continued happy life, Mr. Ledbetter.

Thanking you
*****-Retrieval Team


my heart, my heart
Oh, me heart

Whose heart?
Imagine getting a letter like that in the post . . . where your ID has been used by some *** . . .
