CHEMO #2 (CORRECTED COPY)
Them roses is red
Them violets are blue
I have now finished up
With Chemo number two
I have two more to go
Thank God it's not five
Four is a challenge
But I think I'll survive
They fill up my body
With poison you see
From these great big ole bags
That hang from this tree
These really are chemicals
And they don't have no taste
My body is an official site
For chemical waste
For those who are concerned
About the environment
Please sit down right now
And write to the government
Toxic waste and pollution
Are things really sad
So the next stop for my body
Will be WIPP in Carlsbad
I will spend my whole life
In the caves down below
I never will know if there's rain
Or there's snow
Some people might rent me
For a stroll in the park
I will be their protection
Cause I'll glow in the dark
They say that I might
Lose some of my hair
It might make me good looking
So I really don't care
If they do cut me open
From top to bottom the scar will reach
This will end my vacations
At the California nude beach
But when it's all over
It will be okay
They want me to live
Cause they want me to pay !

The second chemo session wasn't as bad as the first. I still had to sit there for nearly 8 hours which by itself wears you out. But the chemicals do take their toll and I am pretty wiped out tonight - but am eating and plan to have a full and active day tomorrow - probably in four hour segments. It seems that I run out of gas after about four hours. But all is good and everything will be okay. I am getting tired of the routine - this all started February 16th - but I guess this lengthy process is better than the alternative.

Butch: move over Longfellow et.al. Imagine what you could come up with if those sessions were 10-12 hrs? thanks for your inspiration.
