The Heart

The Heart
  1  The heart has many chambers it is just like a small pump
  2  Tyrones’ is getting full and needs cleaning like a sump.
  3    It’s a difficult thing to clean a human heart
  4    With  what to keep and with what to part.
  5    A double pump.
  6    The heart is not like an EYE
  7    The heart is what lets you live or die
  8     Look after your double pumped heart
  9     Or from this world you may have to depart.
10	England has a high rate of heart disease
11	Blocked arteries do not appease, doctor agrees, eat more berries for good    hearts and good bodies.

12	Our hearts are our life line
13	“Anyone who has a Heart” will be fine.
14	Happy and upbeat all the way along the line
15	Exercise is laborious, difficult, fatiguing and arduous 
16	But you can sing out in divine chorus
17	Happy eyes are what we see a when we have a fit body
18	Not our lives running on empty
19	Take a grip and live life while in your prime
20	But perhaps not it has now lost its prime. (My Birthday Suit)

rereading this, as usual with your poetry, the more one read the more profound it becomes, this is an extraordinary talent akin to 3D vision. are your words they just jump out of there...
