We have two of organs so many —
With one of the two I can get by,
but can’t without any,
so, with just one eye
I can still see the sky,
one ear to hear,
and with one kidney I can get by,
but there is only one liver
and the thought of a fatty liver
makes me shiver and,
like the liver, quiver.
So I have to watch my intake of booze
and so many fatty foods
or that one liver I may lose.
I don’t want to be the guy
a new used liver to buy
but neither do I want to die.
So how am I to get my high?
Hurray! Legal marijuana I now can buy.
But I can’t smoke;
my asthma will make me choke
and that’s no joke.
So, I have to learn to bake;
then sky-high brownies I can make.
And as I think all about life,
doesn’t it all just take the cake?
Making do and getting by
still add up to a life so rife.
