Response To Cancer By Carol Brown

i greet you with mixed emotions Mr. Cancer sir
I wanted to cry when I first met you 
but somehow you were not my worry
Sir I thought you were just a thing that lead to surgery

Mr. Cancer, you can be quite the bother
Now I have to visit a place where I wish to not be 
FREQUENTLY
Seriously, you should find other ways seeking my attention
an advertisement perhaps!
Hmmmph, Just when I thought I'm rid of you
there you are!
Invisible to the eye
but I know you're there
You disgusting fellow...a leech I think you are

Mr. Cancer, you've managed to become deadly
You took him from me...
and you're still here Sir
you're still here!!
