I Love a Man Who Gave Blood Thirty Times
And everywhere I go I think Do you have a pint of him, honey?
Does the sweet health and consideration running through him
run through you, too?
Do you find yourself more apt to fight for justice, sir,
or leer like a satyr?
Is your wife surprised"
Doesn't she like it?
And is his vigor here among us, as we sit waiting?
