Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2008I'm Fine
There's nothing whatever the matter with me. I'm just as healthy as I can be. I have arthritis in both knees, And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze. I think my liver is out of whack, And a terrible pain is in my back. My pulse is weak and my blood is thin, But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. My hearing is poor, my sight is dim, Most everything seems to be out of trim, But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. I have arch supports for both my feet, Or I wouldn't be able to go on the street. Sleeplessness I have night after night, And in the morning I'm just a sight. My memory is failing, my head's in a spin, I'm peacefully living on asprin, But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. The moral is, as this tale we unfold, That for you and me who are growing old, It's better to say, "I'm fine," with a grin, Than to let them know the shape we're in.

Harv And a wonderful thing about this group of folks is that no matter what you tell them about yourself or what you feel, or don't feel. everybody understands and don't hassel you about it. I've never loved so many people that I haven't met! But I feel that I know them anyway. Gwen >>I love this poem and isn't it the truth.

I'm one of "those" ;-) Nanny I have always said, "If you can't laugh at yourself, don't laugh at others." Which means, if you can't laugh at an ethnic/religious/illness story/joke, you shouldn't be spreading them either. Reminds me of a time at a Baptist church in town, following a marriage ceremony. One old biddy complained about the laughter and clapping during the ceremony. She thought church should be devoid of such expressions. I stared her in the face and asked if God didn't have a sense of humor. After all, He did create us. <g> ...
