Appendix Gone Lyrics

My father once performed an appendectomy at sea.
The patient was quite grateful for his medical degree.
The surgery was numbered a success.
An untried scalpel hand had met the test.
The appendix was discarded, for, though well-retrieved,
It made a bloody mess.

The ship sailed on and left the organ bobbing on the brine.
The sharks, they gathered quickly--didn't stop to form a line.
The water there went white, and then was still.
No sign of life in the ensuing chill.Gas Giants - Appendix Gone - http://motolyrics.com/gas-giants/appendix-gone-lyrics.html
The evidence suggested that the fish, though large,
Had swallowed down their fill.

The sailor touched his stitches and began to reminisce.
He sang a little song, must have went something like this:

Appendix gone
Into the dawn.
I won't be long.
Appendix gone.
