The New Alphabet for Seniors

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 is 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 is 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 is 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 is deployed,

  and I’m keeping twenty-six doctors fully employed!

HAD A GOOD LAUGH?

HAVE  A  GREAT  DAY ! !
