Mike's youngest sister Melinda Blanc Johnson has been feeding Mike a daily rhyming email. She has boosted our spirits and given us strength with her clever and loving words. Enjoy!
September 22, 2011 --- Thursday Morning --- 27 Treatments to Go...
There once was a guy named Mike
Who loved to ride his bike.
He peddled all the way to the city
For a little radiation-ditty.
Twenty seven treatments to go
But we can have fun, you know...
So as you guessed, this rhyme is not done
I'll be adding to it Until your battle you have won!
xxoo, Melinda
September 23, 2011 --- Friday Morning --- 26 Treatments to Go...
One more treatment down and 26 to go
The laser staff you'll really get to know.
We focus on the great things that happened this week,
Like the weather that's been exceptionally sweet.
It's easy for me to say as I go about my day,
"Hang in there, you'll be okay."
The truth is, it's difficult;
Harder than I think.
But remember James 1;
without it you will sink!
Enjoy your weekend, lift your spirits a-new
And come Monday you'll be ready for Round 2
xxoo, Melinda
September 26, 2011 --- Monday Morning --- 25 Treatments to Go...
Ding-Ding Round 2
In one corner is the riegning champ, Mike's Long Ride
In the other corner is the contender, Cancer Clyde.
The bell sounds and they dance to the center of the ring.
We know that Mike's gonna whip this Cancer thing.
Cancer throws a blow to the left side
But Mike's right there, no... he won't hide!
Round and round they jab and punch
Mike's gonna win, I have a hunch!
xxoo, Melinda
September 27, 2011 --- Tuesday Morning --- 24 Treatments to Go...
Mike's Long Ride wears a mask to protect his head...
Just so Cancer Clyde won't knock him dead.
The mask may be tight, an uncomfortable fit.
But remember it protects from Cancer's evil hit!
So you don't feel good, in fact you feel like crap...
You must get your rest, so go take a nap!
We know for certain that Cancer doesn't stand a chance -
And soon Mike's Long Ride Fans will be doing a happy dance.
xxoo, Melinda

September 28th, 2011 --- Wednesday Morning --- 23 Treatments to Go...
Mike's Long Ride and Cancer Clyde go at it some more,
But Mike won't quit - not til Cancer hits the floor!
Cancer thinks that he's "all that"
Mike's here to say "I'm up to bat!"
Mike declares that cancer's done
Mike's gonna it a Grand Slam Home Run!
Mike yells "Get out of here and don't come back!"
"Cancer" he screams "you ain't worth Jack!"
xxoo, Melinda
September 29th, 2011 --- Thursday Morning --- 22 Treatments to Go...
Cancer Clyde throws a pretty hard hit,
So Mike heads to the corner to try to spit,
But Cancer Clyde cuts straight to the heart,
Now Mike's mouth is drier than a popcorn fart.
No worries; Mike can handle whatever comes his way,
He'll just keep bottled water with him every day!
Cancer Clde thinks he is sooo very cool,
Especially when Mike can't even drool!
Mike's Long Ride has never for a day felt
That Cancer would win the Championship Belt!
xxoo, Melinda
September 30th, 2011 --- Friday Morning --- 21 Treatments to Go...
Well time is ticking; Round 2 is just about done
And Mike's Long Ride, this round, has won!
Cancer Clyde will no doubt come out strong in Round 3;
But Mike's Long Ride will meet him with glee!
We are to 'consider it pure joy for the trials we face'
'Cuz all this testing really strengthens our faith.
So take a deep breath and finish this round strong -
Come Monday you'll be ready when you hear the ding-dong!
xxoo, Melinda
