ABC for old people

 

 




New Alphabet
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-d-iac?


D is for dental decay and decline,
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.
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 oste-o, 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 into 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,  N OW 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 !
