  • The New Alphabet

    Got this off another forum...

    ============================

    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's for arthritis;
    B's the bad back.
    C is the chest pains, perhaps car-d-iac?
    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 is 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 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, the bones that don't grow!
    P for prescription's, 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 for reflux, one meal turns to two.
    S for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
    T for Tinnitus; there's bells in my ears!
    U is for urinary; big troubles with flow;
    V is for vertigo, that's "dizzy," you know.
    W is for worry, NOW what's going round?
    X is for X ray, and what might be found.
    Y is another year I'm left here behind,
    Z is for zest that I still have--in my mind.


    I've survived all the symptoms, my body's deployed,

    And I am keeping twenty-six doctor's fully employed!!!
