Senior Alphabet

A        arthritis
B        for bad back,
C         is for chest pains. Perhaps cardiac?
        

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 have low)
I           for incisions  with scars you can show.
        

J        is for joints, that now fail to flex
  
L        for libido--what happened to sex?
          Wait! I forgot about K!
K       is for my knees that crack when they're bent
         (Please forgive me, my Memory ain't worth a cent)
           

N       for neurosis, pinched nerves and stiff neck
O       is for osteo- and all bones that crack
P       for prescriptions, I have quite a few

        Give me another pill; I'll be good as new!
             

Q      is for queasiness. Fatal or flu?
R      is for reflux--one meal turns into two
         

S       is for sleepless nights, counting my fears

T       for tinnitus--I hear bells in my ears
U       is for urinary: difficulties with flow

V       is for vertigo, that's "dizzy", you know.
W      is worry, now what's going 'round?
X       is for X ray--and what might be found.
         

Y         for another year I've left behind
Z         is for zest  that I still have my mind,

          Have survived all the symptoms my body's deployed,
          And kept twenty-six doctors gainfully employed!!!
                  


           I wish You a day of Peace, Happiness and Joy
