Chemo Session 2 Aborted

They pierced my port – they took my blood
Read those reports – said listen Bud
Your platelets are a bit too low
So we’ll unplug and you can go
You’re just below the preferred range, sir
But not so low that you’re in danger
Your blood needs platelets if it’s to clot
But your blood hasn’t got a lot
If you get cut and start to bleed
Well, that would not be good indeed
So you go home and get some rest
Come back next week, it’s for the best
