A for arthritis, B for 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 high blood pressure (I'd rather have low,)
I for incisions with scars you can show.

J is for joints, that now fail to flex,
L for libido - what happened to sex?

Wait ! I forgot about K!
K is for my knees that crack when they're bent, (Please forgive me, my Memory ain't worth a cent.)

N for neurosis, pinched nerves and stiff neck,
O is for osteo and all bones that crack.

P for prescriptions, I have quite a few.
Give me another pill; I'll be good as new!

Q is for queasiness. Fatal or flu?
R is for reflux - one meal turns into two.

S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
T for tinnitus--! hear bells in my ears.

U is for urinary: difficulties with flow,
V is for vertigo, that's "dizzy", you know.

W is worry, now what's going 'round?
X is for X ray and what might be found.

Y for another year I've left behind,
Z is for zest that I still have my mind.

Have survived all the symptoms my body's deployed,
And kept twenty-six doctors gainfully employed!
