The POTW: Verse Til It Hurts

POTW #817
(Week of 14 October, 2012)
NEXT >>
Holiday alert: tomorrow (the 15th) is the seventeenth anniversary of the Poem of the Week! We suggest that you celebrate by doing something poem-worthy during the course of the day.

Meanwhile, October creepy fun month continues:

Hardly Heartless

They said the doctor had no heart
But they were as wrong as could be
It was kept in a box with some other spare parts
An eye and a lung and a knee
They had come from a woman he met at a bar
And took home for some fun one October
It was like when you strip down and rebuild a car
There are always a few bits left over

Subscribing:

The POTW has been on hiatus for a few years now, but you never know when I might pick it back up again. If you use a blog reader of some sort, you can add the poem to it using This Link. Or, if you like, you can have the POTW sent to you by email every week (it's FREE). With our high-tech automated system, all you have to do is send an email to subscribePOTW@phrenopolis.com from the mail account where you want to receive it, and we'll put you on the list. You will receive a confirmation by email, although it may take a while as the automated subscription process is quite complex and arcane. (You can see just exactly how complex and arcane it is by taking our guided tour.)
