The clotting cascade is like learning to dance,
Factor VIII to X like a great romance.
So many steps to learn and recall,
Good thing your body has them all.

A Sword Named Lovenox
Like a sword in the hand of a master
Does Lovenox lay out clots to immense disaster.
WIth one swipe it stops Factor Xa from thrombin.
It keeps us clot free like riches to poor does robin.
Don’t despair Lovenox, you are much needed
With you clots despair and their loss is conceded.
SCDs are King and Lovenox Queen
SCDs are King and Lovenox Queen
Of the land they reign that is DVT clean.
‘Clot clean!’ is their motto, one for all to hear.
Its one all clots should fear, a land they should never be near.
For if clots set foot in Clot Cleanville they will surely be lysed
As C diff after the use of many bleach wipes.
So nurses, create for your patients a Clot Clean life
For they will be merry and enjoy much less strife.
