THE ALPHABETS OF LIFE !

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 The Alphabet: A's for arthritis;  B's the bad  back,  C's the  chest  pains, perhaps  car-di-ac? 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 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 's  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, 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!  Qis  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; bells in my  ears!  U is  for urinary; troubles with  flow;  V for  vertigo, that's 'dizzy,' you  know.  W for  worry, now what's going  'round?  X is  for X ray, and what might be  found.   Yfor  another year I'm left here  behind,  Z is  for zest I still have-- in my  mind!  I've survived all the  symptoms, my body's  deployed,  And  I'm keeping countless doctors & technicians fully  employed & happy, as I'm a regular in their clinics or labs!  HAVE A GREAT DAY  !
