Perfunctory Fleshless Precipitate

Incision through adhesions

With attention to existing lesions

A careful separation of tissue

And essential severing of sinew

A rush as excitement peaks

Faecal septic clots reek

A general attraction to the oblique

Such pleasure as this is quite unique

Stripping this cadaver

Scavenge the remains and never

Leave the dead alone

Until they are stripped to the bone

A muttered sound from the bowels

As intestines are removed

Nerve tissue is severed

Muscle and skin is scattered

Inappropriate necropsy

A lack of medical purpose

Such behaviour is unbefitting

An honoured pathologist

Overwhelming result

All but bone removed

Some pieces are retained

To be rejoined in the lab

Stripping this cadaver

Scavenge the remains and never

Leave the dead alone

Until they are stripped to the bone
