A is for arthritis
B is bad back
C is chest pains--perhaps car-di-ac
D is for dental decay and decline
E is for eyesight, can't read the top line
F is for fissures and fluid retention
G is for gas which I'd rather not mention
H is for high blood pressure--I'd rather it be low
I is 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 is for libido, what happened to sex
M is for memory, I forgot what comes next
N is for neuralgia in nerves way down low
O os for osteo, the bones that don't grow
P is for perscriptions, 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 the flu
R is for reflux, one meal turns into two
S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears
T is for tinnitus--bells ringing 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 around
X is for X-ray and what might be found
Y is for another year, I'm left here behind
Z is for zest that I still have in my mind

I've survived all the symptoms, my body's deployed
and I am keeping 26 doctors fully employed.
