After The Blood Test

Into my arm the needle goes

And at once I didn't go 'EEE!" and "OH!"

The nurse gave me some special stickers

A cake and dinosaur while the candle flickers

Suky and I left for an ice cream

She had a Flake and I had chocolate, I seem

Chocolate ice cream is my favourite treat

With lots of sausage rolls to eat

I was worried about a second try

But back home to my town we'd fly

I told Mum all about my day

And she said we'd forget about it, hooray!

So now I have time to relax

And forget all my worries for now

As for Mylo, my dog,

He'd rather snack on dog chow!

NOTE: This poem goes to show that a blood test is not a negative experience. It's something that everyone can test their bravery with, no matter what, any time, anywhere. And your reward? A nice, relaxing many days, or a sticker, or some chocolate. Because nothing's better than a numb arm which doesn't hurt.
