B L O O D T H I R S T Y …..[donating Blood; Humour/Humor; Acrostic; Shorty]

Rating: 5.0


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.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
i am a blood donor as often as the home-boss lets me donate. (every 4 months: (only) . the staff members in the bloodmobile vehicles are nice to visit with, the snacks are tempting, and i love to have them jab the needle in my arm! ! ! if they have a 'guest register/comment book', i will write a poem, such as this one:

'Bloodmobile Blunder …… [blood: Donating? ; Suspense? ; Humor? ; Mistake; A Little Long]'....also on PH.

think about giving some blood. remember, they have snacks! but they really don't give beer or ice cream. : (: (

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.

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!
