THE CANCER CARD
By Carol Sevy
If you had the Ace of Diamonds on your side,
Would you use the cancer card?
It can be the card of your dreams:
The last piece of cake,
A parking place or valet,
Crispy Crème donuts,
Or the funny movie of your choice.
The bald head gave me the cancer card.
But that card can get worn out.
So give it away.
Help someone get their dream.
Share the cake.
Enjoy donuts with a friend.
Go to the action film that your sweetheart likes.
Walk when you can, taking the far parking place.
(Even with cancer, you need exercise.)
Then your Ace of Diamonds will stay nice and crisp—
Ready to be dealt to others.
