The spleen is an organ located in the abdomen, where it functions in the destruction of old red blood cells. The spleen also retains a reservoir of blood.
It is part of the immune system, and its absence can result in a disposition to some infections. Until recently, the purpose of the spleen was not known.
The Spleeen, on the other hand, is my intentional satirical spelling of this organ for purposes of getting the Blog title I really wanted.
My spleeen is an organic alter-ego for that place in the human spirit where frustrations, social slights, inequities, and unexpressed anger dwell. This speeen functions in the destruction of old hatreds and malice. It also retains a reservoir of bile that collects daily from swallowed pride, words bitten in two before they're uttered in irritation, and assorted elements of angst.
If you recognize yourself in these postings, it's purely coincidental.
Or, it could be on purpose.
Better to read it here, than from between the stars orbiting your head after you've been conked on the cranium!
