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 for my age is :
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!
No its nothing I have written but I thought it lightheated and very well put together so would like to share.
