HEAD TRANSPLANT
I read
today about the world's first head transplant
But the
source was just some website in Qatar
Which
illustrates something about internet news.
Then I
read that a real head transplant is planned
For
2017 in Italy as soon as the surgeon reads up
On how
to do it, I suppose, or maybe they need
A
suitable volunteer with a low freak-out level.
But the
whole thing got me thinking, of course
About
how the rich will become even more ghoulish
As they
get old, sicken, and start looking around
With
evil eyes such as have never been seen before.
About
how interesting it might be if my head
Were
transplanted onto a young woman's body
And how
fascinating my life might become --
With
just me and her alone in bed all night.
