“People Repair Shop”
Everyone dressed in white,
all sterile and efficient.
Number, please? No name!
Conveyor belt admission,
one surgeon, then the next.
Would you like a kidney?
Go then, they’re on sale.
Two for the price of one.
Don’t need one,
have one just the same!
Zip ‘m up and, Next!
Out the door, I hear:
Say, that’s my foot you’re wearing!
I’m sorry. Shall we go in and change?
Back outside, I shake his hand,
or was it mine?
Who am I, anyway?
Why, number three-one-five!
That’s good to know
and thank you…
but… Help!
