What Rhymes with Cancer?

There’s something in the air
It’s barely visible and hardly even there
Nobody’s really saying anything
We all just have to wait 
They say it’s a tumor or some type of thing
Located on the third or fourth vertebrae 
They really can’t say
They shouldn’t have told him it wasn’t a big deal
They told him to take painkillers 
Eventually the pain would just heal!
These doctors are stupid
They could have caught it earlier
Why couldn’t they be real doctors?
Why couldn’t they be smarter?
The MRI came in
Exposing the pain for what it is
His back has been killing him
Now it might be too late
I wish it were anything
But the word we all hate
