Let My Sense of Humor Die Last

HEY, Guess What?

                  There really IS a tumor
                  
                  Just chillin' in my brain

                  Not causing any pain

                  The Problem that needs Addressing

                  Is just Where the tumor is Pressing

                  And, Doc, with All Due Respect....

                 I mean, what the Heck....

                  It doesn't exactly REASSURE me

                 to call it a simple Brain Surgery!

                So, now my friends, I know how it feels

                to have the Hounds of Death nipping at my heels.

                And I can't run as fast as I once could

                when I was young and things were good.

                 And on my tombstone, in marble thick,

                 Please carve the words: I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK

                 Later
