Morgagnic Anatomics

Repulsive slab of pasty meat
 Torqued wide with craftsman's pride
 Revealing a slick tub of grime
 I slide my arms deftly inside
 This husk once sentient
 Now on the cusp of pestilence
 In science's name I rent
 A grisly educational end
 Finding and excising anatomy
 Mustering my knowledge of postmortem history
 Instructed and guided by
 The infamous anatomist-Giovanni Morgagni
 I find the liver lobed
 In cirrhotic hold
 I scrape arterial plaque
 Flay pericardial sacs
 Disease invariably ends with me
 I cave it from the corpse for further study
 Human shelf life proved once again
 The tax of living corrupts unerringly
 Necrolytic bubbling, chymic innards splash
 Soupy rot sprays from gastric mush
 Piping putrefaction makes gruel of its host
 Fogged moisture beads my dripping face guard
 Grotesque anatomy
 Students of disease
 Organic debris
 Lessons from Morgagni
 Opened stiffs
 Olidious whiffs
 Putrefaction pours
 Spilling gore
 Hunting down diseases, divining macabre truth
 Sickened innards coo, squirting enzymic clues
 Tracking pathogenic progress to its end
 Retching from the answers found therein
 Organs are sorted, labeled, and weighed
 Adroitly butchering carcasses, for which I'm well paid
 To anatomic manuals, I steadfastly abide
 It's the only method to navigate while inside
 The amazing human machine
 Inside out is rarely seen
 I've patiently toiled and trained
 To make it my stock and trade
