A, B, C's for Seniors... The New Aging Alphabet!
THE 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 New Aging Alphabet
A's for arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C's the chest pains,
Perhaps card-i-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 26 doctors fully employed!!!
