Last year I gave her my heart,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   the year before that, my liver.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t think it\u2019s making her happy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   I\u2019ve little else left to give her.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew I\u2019d be losing my balls,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   I never did have any guts,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

but when she demanded my kidneys and lungs,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   frankly, I thought she was nuts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day I gave her my fingers and toes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   my stomach was very upset.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But she took that too, along with my nose,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she left me, a shell of my former self,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   I was glad she was gone.  She was mean!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And although I felt sad and lonely,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   at least I still had my spleen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
