Bloodthirsty are the workers here;
Lots of times they take MORE than a quart!
Of course they replace it all with beer.…, and …
On leaving ……, donors are filled with cheer.
Does any of this, to you, sound strange?
The taste of beer I do not favor ….., but …..
Here they inject it; the beer I do not taste.
I feel its effect, but don’t sense the flavor.
Really, readers, I would much more savor …….
Scoops of ice cream to replace my blood.
This would bring me back more often,
Yet both beer and ice cream may lead to coffin.

Is it your compassion for the ailing or your greed for ice cream and snacks that make you part with your blood every four months....... I wonder! ! (Ha..... ha! ...... just kidding!) By giving blood to the needy, you give a lease of life to many! A gesture worthy of emulation! Naughty Bri can be sometimes so humane!

Enjoyed your lighthearted humor Bri, good that you are able to donate blood. It is for a very good cause. Very commendable act of compassion, dear sir! Thank you for sharing your wit and wisdom, loved it as always! RoseAnn

I've donated blood a few times, and plan to do so many more. However, I'm not planing on replacing the blood with beer, but that ice cream replacement does sound tempting. As always, a very entertaining and funny poem.
