Getting Old, From A to Z


My cousin sent this to me via email. I thought I'd share. 

** The poem is from my cousin, the cartoons are my addition.





I'm Getting Old From A to Z...


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.


A's for arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C's 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 is 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 is 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 is 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 is for reflux, one meal turns to two.


S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
T is 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 doctors fully employed!!!

I'll probably remember this in a few years time. Not so keen on the reflux!

Cute.

However, Getting old is only in our mind.
Age never prevented people from doing things:
