Hold the Leeches

Hold the Leeches


Blood simple

You need a skinful

Sanguine then

Keep it in

Donate no more

Than half an arm full

Phlebotomy

Could prove harmful

Exsanguinate

You'll make a zero

The very fate

That fell to Nero

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Even the word itself makes me queasy - this elixir we all require running through our veins. You make it sing!

[Bobby Del Boy]

And I wonder, what precipitated this blood curdling write? ⛑

[Johntee]

Blood Simple is a phrase that's been "earworming" me
for a couple of weeks without knowing its provenance.
Having written a Bob GrantKC take on the phrase I find it's Coen Brothers
first film which I think I've never seen
