Tasteless is as tasteless does, eh? :) In March 2001 Doc "Mike" Shaffer let us know about his serious liver ailment and we came through for him with bad poetry. And it worked! He's on the road to recovery and has even attended his first conclave since reconstructive liver surgery. Go Doc!

Hmmm, liver-ku?
Doc's liver ka-put
Bad car wreck many years back
Pate' anyone?
Sorry Doc, couldn't resist. An attempt at humor seemed to be in order.

liver and onions
sauteed with butter, garlic
recycling is good
We'll see you at NEC9, Doc. We'll have to break in that new liver properly. 8^)

well, we can't have those kinds of notions going without disabusement around here..... =)
is life worth living?
that depends on the liver
sign those organ cards
mike in liver land
asks, "What am I? Chopped liver?"
ku folks might be shy
starved for liver ku
humour in hepatic vein
sure would cheer Doc up.
I can't quite believe
no lister has yet mentioned
dreaded Liver Wurst
that oughta hold you until the experts chime in ;-))

Not unloved doc, it is hard to joke to someone about serious issues if you don't know them so good. I would of jumped on it but felt sorta bad. I'll try to make up for this lack of sensitivity now.
is it just a fluke
his liver wants a divorce
or was it bad corn
try them at napa
you need to turn one in first
to get a rebuild
Sorry for neglecting to ku. So don't take no offense to my poor attempt at it. I was shocked, even typeless,... and for me...well. it's kind of hard to be light about a tragedy to someone unless i'm settin in a little closer. My sincere hopes for you and yer new liver to be. Too bad you can't build one, you have it done and fancy by now i bet. b

Your Liver is dead
You can't even get a "Ku"
Still want to complain?

Subject: Re: No Ku?
take one old liver
try chianti and favas
smother in onions
leave no stone unturned
wanted: one-owner liver
non drinker preferred
pigs to the rescue
promising porker organs
be first on your block

There's a Fly Fish lister named Doc
Whose liver has had a bad shock.
He complains of no 'ku
And whines a lot too,
When drinking barium-laced chalk
(private note to Doc: sorry, Doc, I know you aren't drinking chalk, but the only other word I could think of for the rhyme was...uhhhhh, never mind.)

Doc throws a party
Fishing in waders
Lighting the charcoal
Tam stuck in the past
Good flyfishing vest
His shrink knows not why
Coot.. intelligent life does exist. It's all around you... *G*

Contemplates Doc's liver woes
Shocks big kiwi trout

quite a quiver
without a fivver
needs a new chunk of brown biver
oh s--- a lousy ku
Subject: Re: No Ku Intelligent Waders :^)
His Liver Has Got a Spot
He Went to the Crew
And Asked for a Ku
And Then Coot Thickened the Plot...
Intelligent life was found
Needs organ player
Or wading in the fishes
In the liver spots
The rainmaker must compete
He cooks good pate'
Perpetual February
Doc's liver still good.
Has extra pocket in front
To hold Doc's liver
The ku keeps the doc going
The will to live-r.
