David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Tugging On Heart Strings

This verse might bite, straight into some hearts
       Hack open tough sternums, pull rib cages apart
   Anaesthesia's unnecessary, wouldn't do any good 
       It ain't bypass surgery, I'll be keeping the blood 

   Yeah a mission of mercy, an operation to save face
      Your fate has been chosen, not here touching base
   I'm searching for strings, inside your heart valves 
       For this vampire flosses, and scared of root canal
