Senior Cits Alphabet

The Senior Citizens Alphabet

A for arthritis,

B for bad back,

C is for chest pains.

Perhaps cardiac? 

D is for dental replacements 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

L for libido--what happened to sex?

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. Wine 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!
