Aging Baby Boomer's Alphabet

A is for arthritis

B is for bad back

C is for the chest pains. Corned beef? 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)

And other gastrointestinal glitches

H is high blood pressure

I is for itches

J is for joints that are failing to flex

L is for libido--what happened to sex?

Wait! I forgot about K for bad knees

(I've got a few gaps in my M-memory)

N is for nerve (pinched) and neck (stiff) and neurosis

O is for osteo-

P is for porosis

Q is for queasiness. Fatal? Just flu?

R is for reflux--one meal becomes two

S is for sleepless nights counting my fears

T is for tinnitus--bells in my ears

U is for difficulties urinary

V is for vertigo

W is worry

About what the X--as in X ray--will find

But though the word " terminal' rushes to mind,

I'm proud, as each

Y - year - goes by, to reveal

a reservoir of undiminished

Z - zeal---

For checking the symptoms my body's deployed,

And keeping my twenty-six doctors employed.
