Chipboard Poem

With her bloody brain exposed,
She's still pretty adorable.
But the things she's capable of
Are truly so darned horrible.

Death Certificate

Clumsy in her bunny slippers, She tripped and struck her head.
No one cared to inform her,
That she was close to dead.
They tried to open her skull
To relieve her swelling brain,
But despite all their efforts,
Purdy died in vain.
Now she roams the hospital
In a ghostly daze
Haunting sick little dolls
With her undead gaze

Removable brain

The first heart transplantation from a "brain dead" donor was in 1968 at Sapporo Medical School.
