Our New Alphabet
Alphabet for the aging...
A for 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.

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!
