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

D is for dental decay and decline,
E is for eyesight....cannot read that top line.

F is for fissures and fluid retention
G is for gas (which I would rather not mention)
H is for high blood pressure (I would rather have low)
I is for incisions with scars you can show.

J is for joints, that now fail to flex
L for lost hearing...now what did you say?
Wait!!!! I forgot about K
K is for my knees that crack when they are bent
(Please forgive me, my memory ain't worth a cent.)

M is memory lapses occurring all day.
N is for neurosis, pinched nerves and stiffneck
O is for osteo - and all bones that crack
P is for prescriptions, I have quite a few
Give me another pill; I will 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 rears
T is for tinnitus......I hear bells in my ears
U is for urinary; difficulties with flow
V is for vertigo, that is "dizzy", you know.
W is worry, now what is going 'round?
X is for X ray....and what might be found.

Y is for another year I have 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!!!
