Carve out my heart, and
serve it with vinegar
Keep it in a jar of
for-mal-de-hyde
Cut out my heart, and
cherish it savagely,
Put it up with the other jars,
side by side.
Carve out my heart, and
serve it up prettily,
Check that the Cabernet’s
warmed just right
Cut out my heart, and
speak to it lovingly,
Make sure the lid’s screwed on,
nice and tight.
