ODE NEGATIVE

BloodyUm

I see red, people

LINES COMPOSED WHILE BLEEDING INTO A BAG AT THE THOMAS JEFFERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL CONFERENCE ROOM

My name is Type O

You best believe the hype-o

I’m a Universal Donor

And son, that’s no typo.

I’m O-negative, your rich relative

Other blood types are strictly non-competitive.

Haters hatin’, circulatin’

Trying to beat me is a fluid situation, with

Arteries and capillaries,

Your blood’s a book,

I’m the whole library.

I’m hot blooded, check it and see

What you get with a unit of me, inside

I’m a Crimson Tide,

Put me in the tank and watch me ride

Transfuse, can’t lose, can’t beat my swag

Drop by Drop, Papa’s got a brand new bag.

Give me to your sons, give me to your daughters

Give me to your crew, I’m thicker than water.

Sanguinary, never ordinary,

If it’s not O- Neg

Your results may vary.

Platelets, plasma, Rh Factor

I’m the winner for Best Supporting Actor

If by now you don’t get the gist, I insist.

Ask a phlebotomist.

Lover, giver, I’m a red river,

John Wayne in your vein, I deliver

Life by the gallon so now you know.

Lie back and watch me flow.
