the new jane

she's back! it's true. we're certainly delighted ...

she's suddenly quite funny and our passions have ignited!
she's humorous and kind, and looking oh-so-funky,
if one can just forget she has the hair growth of a monkey!

but that's okay, we love her, she's really quite attractive,
her mismatched chemo oufits held her former good taste captive,
but now she's looking very fresh, in shimmered open sandals,
and has a certain glowing look (might be the shabbos candles!)

her shiny earrings catch the light, and boy, she really glows,
her lovely nails painted light on fingers and her toes,
she sports mod jeans and funky tops, her figure is quite fine,
and believe me it's a good thing; we were crossing the line ...

her wigs, of which she's had enough, do make her head all itchy,
although that's a small price to pay, as now she is not witchy
(being nice with that one!)
not only is her visage light, and filled with luminescence,
her whole demeanor is quite fun, she's gotten back her essence!

so chemo may have killed those cells, but not her spirit, no!
and surgery, a nip and tuck, the truth, you'd never know ...
the cancer, well let's face it, that is SO 2007,
she's back to being a mom of kids aged 15, 13, 11

a happy family has emerged, thanks to love that's been first rate,
and not to mention a week well spent deep in the sunshine state,
thank goodness as we thought from this we would not well emerge,
it had us out upon the ledge, our family on the verge!

the word 'nuclear' took on a whole new meaning, at least in this regard,
so toxically related was our gang, it certainly was hard -
but now we're like the waltons, so happy all together,
and finally we're feeling really light, kind of like a feather!
