Chemo Blues

After first injection, hair started to thin
Eyelash and eyebrows cut to the root
Nothing left but patches of bare skin
But personality was acute

For every action there is a reaction, sadly Chemo comes into this vein. How lucky we are at times if we thought about it. Good luck in the contest Caryl....:)

A nice bit of dark humor in this chastushka, Caryl. This would be the epitome of a "bad hair day." Best wishes in Rick's contest. Love, Carolyn
