Ode to the Crummy Chemo Cycle by Jerry Ruffner



Treatment One wasn't fun
Treatment Two was crummy, too

Treatment Three lowered the bar more, in training for Number Four

Then came Number Five to roast a thousand more C-cells alive.

Now to get ready for clean sweeping Number Six
Enjoy these edible pretty fruit sticks.

And when you are done with this miserable test,
take back your full life.
You deserve all the best.


Love,
Dad


Thanks, Dad, for putting a little fun into this weird and terrible process. Making fun it of it, takes the misery out of it. Vlad and I loved the edible fruit you and Susan sent to us. We washed down the melon, strawberries, grapes and pineapple pieces with a bottle of bubbly as a pre-celebration of the end of the Crummy Chemo Cycle. It was a wonderful treat.
