Transplant Games

If I should die think only this of me:
there must be someone somewhere
who could really use my kidneys.
And while you’re thinking
don’t forget my heart,
my eyeballs,
liver,
spleen,
even, I kid you not, knees.

It’s quite amazing what they do
with all the bits sliced from a carcass
depending on your point of view
you may consider it a lark as
they stick their hands into the goo
and come out clutching vital organs
not vital to their owner now of course
since he’s not making any more plans

The poor deceased never complains
or asks the doctors what they’re taking.
Soon not much human still remains
and through the wreckage they are raking.
(Of course they leave behind the brains
and all the mess that they’ve been making)

So join with me and praise the docs:
noble of brow and red of hand.
Before we’re put into our box
each one of us can lend a gland
