Autopsy

In life you may be a saint or sinner

Most of us concerned with the outer, not inner

Perhaps you made a mistake or few along the way

But that is not the lesson, today

Between live patient and cadaver

We the students partake in the macabre

We examine your exterior

We peer inside

We handle your organs

Probable cause, we seek to find

You are not a demographic, a name or number

You are the Harvey, the Osler

As we remove the gowns, masks, gloves and booties from our shoe

Let us take a moment to thank you
