Ode to Ted Kennedy's Liver

Retro-Nose: Ode To Ted Kennedy's Liver

I think that I shall never see

A liver like Ted Kennedy's



Brave and resilient, a symbol of might

Whilst put to the test night after night



Twere it not for the strength of this filter within

He'd be yellower still than a Chiquita skin


No organ has ever been brutalized such

With the exception of course, of Slick Willie's tusk



And maybe perhaps, that wondrous skin

That Michael Moore sports alone (but could fit 6 others in)



Formidable as well is the collective bum

Of Michael J's underage Neverland chums



But pray we return to Ted's hepatic mate

Which continues to grow at an alarming rate



It swells and inflates right up through his body

All while Ted repeats "Err-ahh, another scotch here hottie!"



The space is used up in the trunk of old Ted

His liver has begun to grow into his head!



How much cranial growth? The statement's been made

That when out on the street people scream "Hey Kool Aid!"



Alas, through it all Ted remains quite aloof

Does he know that his bile is produced 90 proof?



As for all of us, we watch and we pray

That said liver will take over Ted's brain someday



And if this occurs (let's wish for the best!)

May it give his weary tongue a much needed rest.
