Poetry: Cancer, it's not a dirty word

ShShshsh! Get a grip, zip your lip

The big “C” has hit

Cancer, it’s not a dirty word

Keep it mum

And just play dumb?

The big “C” is here

Cancer, it’s not dirty word

Let’s get real

It’s no big deal

Yes, I have it

Cancer, it’s not a dirty word

I just let it out

Refuse to pout

Though Chemo’s quite a bout

Cancer, it’s not a dirty word
