-A YOU'RE ADORABLE...:   -From Susan-

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
realistsic instead.

Now A's for Arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C is 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 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 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 reflux
one meal turns to two.
S is for sleepiness nights.
counting my fears,
T for Tinnitus;
there's bells in my ears!

U is 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've kept twenty six doctor's fully employed!!
