THE
NEW ALPHABET
Forwarded

New
Alphabet
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
TheAlphabet:
|
|
A's for arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C's the chest
pains,
perhaps car-d-iac?
|
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!
Q is 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.
Y for 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 twenty-six
doctors fully employed!!! |
HAVE A GREAT DAY! |
