Waiting for the substance

To be drawn

Feels like I've been sat here 

Since the dawn

What would a vampire

Make of the result

Cry out in despair

Or in rapturous tumult

How's the haemoglobin 

Holding out

Is my constitution wilting

Or am I resolutely stout

Will they find too much red

In my alcohol stream

Is my %ABV too high

Or can I only dream

Call my name, pass a smile

It's just perfunctory, all the while

Pull the strap, tap a vein

Plunge the needle again and again

Until the good stuff starts to flow

Write the labels so we know

If a strange malady lies within 

Then actions appropriate can begin

But for the answers we'll

Have to wait

Anything till then is just

Speculation or debate
