Warfarin
You know, rat poison
It’s something I have to take now and forever
To keep clotted rats away from the mechanical valve
Who knew I had rats running around my cardiovascular system
I didn’t
But my medical team
(if celebrities can have medical teams so can I)
Well, they’re all very earnest about warfarin and the dosage
I have to visit the vampires often
Who draw my blood with whetted appetite
Challenging me to make a tight fist
That they know I’ll never raise
But I’m cool with it
I have been gifted with a small measure of the royal disease
A junior baronetcy of hemophilia
So I’ll line my moat with rat poison to keep the buggers at bay
Besides, I never liked coagulating
Anyway
