I think again I'll never see
my lovely set of ovaries.
They served me fine, they served me well
Delivering my monthly swell.
Two score plus 4 they stayed around
In my reproductive ground.
At 41 they peaked, and then
Nine months later, they gave me Ben.
For that gift I'm ever grateful
Since cancer took them, ever fateful.
As to this cancer, this too shall pass
Because I've opened up Whoopa$$!
And ovaries, I bid adieu
And for my son, I thank you, thank you.

Impressive! Who knew you had it in you! Very nice!- Cindy
ReplyDeleteActually, I've always had a penchant for writing parodies, mostly song parodies. In this case it's a poem parody. You should see the song parody I did to Oh Christmas Tree based on an unfortunate series of events in the bathroom at GMAC. I think it's the one I'm most proud of :o). Hmmm, maybe that's saying something...
ReplyDeleteSandy, you are amazing. I don't think I've laughed (and sniffled) so hard over a piece of writing for a long time! I love song parodies too. Perhaps there is a Whoopa$$ song lurking in the wings somewhere. I will have to ponder this.
ReplyDeleteOh Sandy, that was wonderful!! LOL Mary
ReplyDeleteI have always loved all your parodies that you have shared with me. Especially the one about the ladies room if you remember. Sense of humor and your woopa$$ is what is going to eliminate this nasty can---!

ReplyDeleteThink about you all the time
Uncle Blodge has shared with us your poem. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBe well.
My first thought when I checked out Uncle Blodge's blog was what a lovely, brave, and funny women, but that might be too cornball, so, "Kick its ass!"
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great sense of humor. It is your Whoppa$$ ammunition. Don't ever lose it.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing and you are going to beat this thing.
