Atomic Wonder

The radiation has just about entered into my vein My heart is pounding like a heavy freight train Except this is to cure and not to harm But strong enough to raise an atomic alarm It seeks and destroys the unwanted cells Creeping death to the redundant thyroid it spells To leave the body clear and well With an elated feeling of pride and swell Atomic signs now adorn the room Contrasting with Ken Bruce radio boom All surfaces have been cling film covered To prevent them being radiation smothered A strange elation fills the air As I sit reading in a sheet covered chair A small pill will surely do me some good Research has shown that it certainly should.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have to endure chemo but you have given me a clue to how it feels. Nicely written.

Thanks Phil, yes it was an experience I'd rather not do again.
