day three of poison,
what a joy!
the fine clear liquid,
oy, yoy, yoy ...
we wake up early,
straighten each room
drink a great big latté,
with a sense of doom!
everybody up and out,
get the kids to school,
arrive on time for chemo,
they tell us that's the rule
through netflix we've furnished,
ourselves with dvd's -
hannah and her sisters,
in computer on my knees ...
all this stuff goes smoothly,
much seltzer we do drink -
we watch some mary tyler moore,
and have no time to think
we cheerily wish nurse au revoir,
and say that we'll have lunch,
a grand luxe salad hits the spot,
a good place for this munch
to home we go, more coffee's brewed,
we do some work at one
and pick up mail and kids at three,
see chemo is such fun!
jane is fine, just feeling great,
and she looks quite well too,
but then when i get back from dropoffs,
she's feeling kind of blue
the steroids - have they done their job?
she's feeling really sore,
which just came on in quite a flash,
there's more of that in store ...
kristals drop by, with some hugs,
and shabbat dinner too -
flowers, wine, and their warm words
their kindness, nothing new!
on politics, we have a chat,
and speak about obama,
he's got my vote for president,
bet he can find osama!
we all convene for friday night,
the dinner is delicious,
and when the kids do help clean up,
i'm feeling quite suspicious
we settle down, put our feet up,
and turn on pbs
to watch britcoms from bbc,
'bout how life is a mess
so now, three down, but one to go
and my, see how time flies -
just one more dose and then jane's done,
we'll say our fond goodbyes!
