New Alphabet For "Old" People
A is for apple, and B is for
boat, that used to be right, but now it won't float!
Age before beauty is what we
once said, but let's be a bit more realistic instead.
Now The Alphabet:
A's for arthritis.
B's the bad back.
C's the chest pains, perhaps
car-di-ac?
D is for dental decay and
decline.
E is for eyesight, can't
read that top line!
F is for fissures and fluid
retention.
G is for gas which I'd
rather not mention.
H high blood pressure--I'd
rather it low.
I for incisions with scars
you can show.
J is for joints, out of
socket, won't mend.
K is for knees that crack
when they bend.
L's for libido, what
happened to sex?
M is for memory, I forget
what comes next.
N is neuralgia, in nerves
way down low.
O is for osteo, bones that
don't grow!
P for prescriptions, I have
quite a few, just give me a pill and I'll be good as new!
Q is for queasy, is it fatal
or flu?
R is for reflux, one meal
turns to two.
S is for sleepless nights,
counting my fears.
T is for Tinnitus; bells in
my ears!
U is for urinary; troubles
with flow.
V for vertigo, that's
'dizzy,' you know.
W for worry, now what's
going 'round?
X is for X ray, and what
might be found.
Y for another year I'm left
here behind,
Z is for zest I still
have--in my mind!
I've survived all the
symptoms, my body's deployed, and I'm keeping twenty-six doctors
fully employed!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
