Through Thick and Thin

« Finally my blood began to coagulate » (imagine that!)
New contest’s bloody theme by fellow Matt! 
My instant fear that by the wicked fate 
I would sure bleed to death right off the bat. 

Once the quirky contest concept set in: 
I got cold feet rising from blood loss trance, 
Due to the side effects of aspirin, 
There was no way I stood a second chance. 

For the thicker denouement of a plot 
I was thoughtfully placed in ICU, 
Patiently waiting for my blood to clot, 
Transfused with a good stranger’s kind, brand new. 

Now you know how my bloody tall tale goes - 
I made it live and on the other side - 
From then on I’m obsessed with my blood flows 
And damn me, curse me, cuss me if I lied. 

Though in denial of any common sense, 
I deem Judge Matt the master of suspense!
