Something's Wrong with the Ol' Heart

Seventy years ago by the side of the road,
a baby was born in a hole, but not to code. 
Instead of a heart, he has a ticker; 
but listen to this - this is the kicker:
a heart attack won't kill him.  He will explode.

haha, it's like Bozo the Clown being upset because nobody seriously considers him for dramatic roles.
