D.I.Y

 My cellar is all kitted out
A real man's den or cave
Wooden benches made for work
Wooden trays, power tools
All laid out perfectly neat
Everything has its place
All except you
Metal hooks for hanging tools
Vices cleaned and oiled
There’s an odour of pine
And caustic paint stripper
A heady perfume of man musk
The aromas from everything
Are simply perfect
Apart from the aroma of you
Metal trays of other stuff
Recently sanitised surgical
Operating theatre equipment
For that special D.I.Y
I occasionally like to do
My centre piece a marble slab
With aluminium drainage holes
The one you no find yourself
Tightly strapped down to
Let’s be clear, you’re going nowhere
You may have noticed changes
Like your new inability to speak
Scream or cry out for help
I cut you vocal chords
And bit out your tongue
Last night when you were
Anaesthetised and so sleepy
I am good you never felt a thing
An let’s face it I don’t value
Your input or anything you
Might want to blurt out
Begging and screaming
I think are so undignified
And you said you wanted
Death with dignity, didn’t you
You contacted Dignitas
Told them you didn’t fear death
You wanted to stare death
Down with a steely stare
Hence to meet your request
I surgically removed your eye lids
This morning so you don’t miss a thing
I intend to perform a D.I.Y
Live autopsy on you
Videoing the whole procedure
As a gift to send to your
Long and suffering wife
Now granted I am not certified
Or professionally qualified
Unlike yourself doctor
But as you will be awake
Throughout I am sure you
Will keep me right
There will be no anaesthetic
Ah! Where to begin
