Today I give freely of my life-giving blood;
mine’s the best around, though it may look like mud.
Yes, it’s different from blood one usually does see.
It’s packed with little miracles, processed by …….little old ME.
It’s what Harvard students take after their all-nighters.
It’s what’s consumed by all the best Kung Fu fighters.
Why, young David got mine in a special transfusion …….
just before he gave giant Goliath a deadly contusion!
And, speaking of the Bible, if truth be NOW told,
it was what brought Lazarus back…..from Death’s cold hold.
AND perhaps you’ve heard of Lance Armstrong’s Tour de France “cheating”;
transfusions of MY blood improved HIS …..heart-beating.
[Or something like that; I wasn’t told the “details”.
But to him I sure made a lot of big “Best-Blood” sales! ! ]
Still, the thing I’m most proud of about MY “best-blood” ….
is when, at several hospitals, it caused a maternity leave “flood”.
Seems a LOT of male patients got my blood in one week, and ……
nine months later nurse maternity leaves hit …….a RECORD peak!

Wow.......This poem on blood donation is humour of the best kind....! I know you are a regular blood donor, but never knew if your blood has such potency.....! These days infertility patients are on the rise! So it would be a blessing for them! Do you really mean to say that I taught you comedy! This is like saying 'the dog taught the squirrel to climb trees'! In fact I learnt what is humour from Mr. Bri! These days sometimes I try miserably to step into his shoes! Thanks for the dedication!
LOL, very potent stuff. And I knew you were old, but I didn't know you were around for Lazarus and David, I believe that makes you older than Methuselah. Very entertaining, but I'm a bit disappointed that you actually helped Lance cheat, next time you donate to such a cheater, make sure you've consumed copious amounts of alcohol to throw off their performance. Sadly, I didn't find ant typo's, I read it several times looking for one. Maybe next poem :)
Ha ha ha...made me laugh a loud...Nice humorous poem, enjoyed the satire part in your poem..Loved it. I invite you to read my poems, Thanks.

I have my doubts on the last stanza! But coming back to the students and Lance; You mean there are actually traces of blood in your d***/al***** system? You are the master of humor sir and you had me GLOANING again. It is going to be a great day, Thanks Bri
