Why Only the Heart May Feel

It strikes me *****, Why for generations we humans Have loved with our hearts. And I ponder why Such a revolting organ Would be paired with such a tremendous task! Surely it is not the most vital, Our mind has already occupied that position. Its shape is of no suggestive air. And there are certainly prettier organs… I say! What prevents us from loving with our kidneys? What of our lungs? Surely they gasp for the privilege of feeling. The stomach is hungry, nay famished for love and Yet Our heart alone would be blessed with emotion. At least it is definite that the heart may feel selfishness. For an organ that feels, It does not seem generous. I assure you the mind would be more liberal When it comes to sharing. Come to think of it, The heart is (at most) the most Average Organ in the human body. Perfect for the task. Enough said.

I guess it's the Chinese who think love comes from the kidneys. Good questions to ponder.
