An A-Z of growing old

[+Gringo]

Alphabet spells out the ailments

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 real?istic

Instead...

A is for arthritis;

B is the bad back,

C is the chest pains, per?haps 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 re?tention,

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 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 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 trou?bles 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 symp?toms, my body's deployed, and I?ve kept 26 "doctors" Fully employed
