Dontcha Just Love Em
Think today's gonna be a good one
Not really feeling all that bad
Except for a pain in my right leg
And my back aches just a tad
Oh forgot to mention my sinuses
They've been acting up of late
My eyesight isn't what it used to be
And lately my hearing's not great
I try to ignore the pains in my knees
All my joints are starting to squeak
Recently lost feeling in my fingers
Been constipated for about a week
I've developed a boil on my buttocks
That bothers me a lot when I sit
Have a little problem with my teeth
They're false but they're not a great fit
Aside from that, I'm feeling quite fine
Of course I have this mental problem
Must keep taking my meds each day
The Golden Years, dontcha just love 'em!
