When I am dead as dead can be, like Betamax and faxes
\nLike dinosaurs and dodo birds, like quills and sealing waxes
\nFeel free to use my organs if they can be of use
\nBut be sure to check my liver; it has suffered some abuse.<\/p>\n
My heart was broken only once it may still pump some blood
\nMy brain is entertaining but my memory’s a dud
\nYou’re welcome to my pancreas (whatever that is for)
\nAnd likewise my appendix I won’t need it any more.<\/p>\n
Although I have no donor card (despising paperwork)
\nFeel free to take my organs with a scalpel or a dirk
\nOr if you are a gardener you could use a garden pruner
\nBut only when I’m quite extinct, and not a second sooner.<\/p>\n
Feel free to use my corneas to give the gift of sight
\nMy hair could make a lovely wig for going out at night
\nTo make some snazzy moccasins do utilise my skin
\nBut please make absolutely sure that I’m no longer in.<\/p>\n
Feel free to use my organs if I am entirely dead
\nBut if there’s any doubt please give me CPR instead.<\/p>\n
