Zip It Up

I wish we all had a body with a zip
For when we need a replacement hip
The body is unzipped to replace a new part
A liver or kidney, a lung or new heart
Bones are removed and replaced as required 
No need for traction or bones that are wired
The days will be gone for all operations
This will catch on with all the nations
Order on-line or a big shop will do
To buy a spare body part just for you
No need to worry, no need to fuss
Decide what you need and catch the bus
Tesco’s and Asda can sell the bits you need
They will grow organic body parts from a seed
So bear that in mind if you are an inventor
A brain needs inventing that doesn’t get dementia
