I remember a puddle of blood
Not a small spilling
A full fledged puddle
The kind that would spill into your shoes
If you stepped in it
Man
That was a lot of gore
They don't usually die that slow
When you make the right cuts
The blood stops quickly
I'm not exactly sure where I went wrong
I had the victim knocked out in record time
I started my cutting
After I stole a beer from the victim's fridge
The t.v. was turned to the surgery channel
It was a liver removal special
This was going to be a challenge for me
I tied on my butcher's apron extra tight
Lowered a welder's mask over my face
Thank goodness there are ugly people in the world
Since they're always single
They make the best practice bodies
Removing the left arm was a snap
Well, more like a cut, twist, and firm pull
The right arm required extra twisting
My hacksaw blade was getting dull
Oddly, on t.v., the arms stayed attached to the body
Something for me to aim for next time
Whether it was my rusty box cutter
Or the beers I had consumed, I'll never know
But my first cut in the chest of the cadaver
Unleashed a torrent of blood
Not movie style blood
Real
Dark
Thick
Gushing blood
It stuck to my gloves and clotted quickly
It really started to bog down the operation
When I decide to become proficient at this
I'll need a set of rib crackers
Using my foot and brute force
Causes excessive bruising
Following the instructional t.v. program
I was eventually able to locate the target liver
A rather innocent looking body part
It was still in good condition
After I brushed off the bone fragments
I had a moment of pride for my low tech. operation
During commercial breaks
I did a study on the effect of bruising on flesh
My efforts to extract the liver
Resulted in a great case study
There were significant lacerations
(cuts to you people)
It was near impossible to count the number of black and blues
The whole body was turning different shades
Like a children's kaleidoscope
An artery or two was dripping stagnant blood unto the floor
Like an I.V. for the carpet
Due to the short life span of detached livers
I had to hurry to get it into a bag
And into the freezer
I rubber stamped bloody prints to the upstairs
Logged onto the victim's computer
Went straight to the site I wanted
Posted a new message
I wonder how much I'll get for this liver
On eBay
