My Alphabet
 

A's for arthritis;

E is for eyesight, can't read that top line!
F is for fissures and fluid retention,

K is for knees that crack when they bend.
L is for lumbar, see earlier text.
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 for reflux, one meal turns to two.
S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears,
T is for Tinnitus; there is bells in my ears!
U is for urinary; big troubles with flow;

W is for worry, NOW what is going 'round?
X is X ray, and what might be found.
Y is another year I'm left here behind,
