Simple Things

     I’m not sure who originally posted this on the internet, and credit is definately due the author. I wanted to share it with you, since it is very appropriate for those of us over 50:

                  A’s for arthritis & B’s the bad back,

                  C is for chest pains, perhaps cardiac?

                  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 for high blood pressure - I’d rather it low

                  I for incisions with scars you can’t 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 for memory, I forget what comes next.

                 N for neuralgia, in nerves way down low,

                 O is for osteo, the bones that don’t grow.

                 P for prescription, 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 for sleepless nights, counting my fears,

                 T 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 I still have - in my mind.

       Ain’t it the truth!  As I go forward into the second half of my lifetime - I’m determined to find the humor in everything.
