ABC's of Againg
- A is for arthritis,
- B is for bad back,
- C is for the chest pains. Corned beef? 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 and not to forget
other gastrointestinal glitches)
- H is high blood pressure
- I is for itches, and lots of incisions
- J is for joints, that now fail to flex
- L is for libido--what happened to sex?
Wait! I forgot about K!
- K is for my knees that crack all the time
- (But forgive me, I get a few lapses in my ...
M-memory from time to time)
- N is for nerve (pinched) and neck (stiff) and neurosis
- O is for osteo-for all the bones that crack
- P is for prescriptions, that cost a small fortune
- Q is for queasiness. Fatal or just the flu? Give me another pill
and I'll be good as new!
- R is for reflux--one meal turns into two
- S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears on how to pay my
increasing medical bills!
- T is for tinnitus--I hear bells in my ears and the word
"terminal" also rings too near
- U is for urinary and the difficulties that flow (or not)
- V is for vertigo, as life spins by
- W is worry, for pains yet found
- X is for X ray--and what one might find
- Y is for year (another one I'm still alive)
- Z is for zest, for surviving the symptoms my body's deployed,
and keeping twenty-six doctors gainfully employed.
