A BRAIN FULL OF TRIVIA

 When I am gone, when I am dead,
 They're going to open up my head
 And find it full of trivia
 Like, "quince grows in Bolivia."
 
 And doctors will be so impressed
 At how much knowledge I possessed.
 They'll ooh and aah and wonder why
 Such wisdom rests in such as I.
 
 They'll peer inside my fertile brain
 And try their best to ascertain
 What methods they should now employ
 So that this gem they don't destroy.
 
 They'll learn that cats have 30 teeth,
 That fish spawn in a coral reef,
 Men hiccup more than women do,
 Ammoniums are in shampoo.
 
 More women pay the household bills,
 More men forget to take their pills,
 Most women lie about their age
 And most men have a tire gauge.
 
 The pigs killed off the dodo bird
 And if you think that that's absurd;
 More women have a double chin,
 Most household dust is human skin.
 
 So, stick around, for some fine day
 You'll likely hear a doctor say,
 "Her brain is such a rarity,
 Lets keep it for posterity."
