Invasion Of The Cancer Gremlins!!


So I've got this invasion of gremlins!
Creeping about, on my face!
Getting bigger, growing more,
And I have to say, it's a race!
For the longer its there, growing,
The more they will have to take,
I'm gona end up with a hole there,
Flipping heck, for goodness sake!!

But they tell me about this skin graft,
Yeah, like that matters to me!
I don't care about scars, nope not at all!
I just want this gremlin removed you see!!
It has no right to be there ya know!
I mean to say, it's got a blooming cheek!
Creeping about and growing!
When it wasn't much the other week!

Then it decided to get cheeky,
And it grew bigger and faster!
I mean to say, at the end of the day,
I can't even hide it with a plaster!
And now I'm on the clock!
I have to wait 4 weeks! I know!
It should be gone, why do we wait?
Well, there's worse than me needs to go.

But at the moment, it's no consolation,
As I watch it grow on my face;
And no matter what I tell myself,
I'm not dealing it with grace!
Cos I cried like a baby, I did!
When I found out what it was,
Yeah, cancer, the name we hate,
But, what's the point of crying, because...

Because I can't change what it is?
Tears won't help, more, they'll make it worse!
It's there, and that's the end of that!
And I'm running out of verse!!
Well, ok, I'm not running out,
I guess I just can't be bothered to write,
Talking about this stupid gremlin!
And how it's kept me awake at night!

But then I asked my God above,
To help me in this plight,
And to make me as tough as I usually am,
And stop me worrying in the dark of night!
Well, past tense that, I have to say,
Cos I really don't care one dot!
I just want it gone, no matter the scars,
Cos its only one life that I've got!

And I have no time for negativity,
You see, God made me pretty tough,
He helps me out all of the time,
And that's how I get through the rough!
Roll on 4 weeks time,
When this cancer will finally go!
Meanwhile, I really do hope,
It will stop multiplying and not grow.

But that's one thing we can't stop,
Its gona grow and grow until it's gone!
And the only thing about that is,
The skin graft will be bigger when it's done!
It's not the scar that's the problem though,
I have to be honest and say,
The problem for me is, it's there!
And I want it removed; today!!!

But I can't have it done, we have to wait,
And hold it together until it's time...
But know this, the day it's gone!!
That's when I'll be back to feeling fine!
*****************************
It's the word I think, that scares us,
But I guess that's expected.
Could be worse though,
Yeah, could be worse...
I'm one of the lucky ones!

C catch it quickly
A attack it aggresively
N never leave it
C cant ignore it
E every minute counts
R remove your head from the sand

Deal with it, remove it,
And move on, period!

Cancer, if you think you have it...
Don't bury your head in the sand!
Do what I did!!
Get it checked as soon as you're suspicious!!
The sooner you act, the better.
