Aside From That

Think today's gonna be a good one Not really feeling all that bad Except pains in my legs and arms 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 some feeling in my fingers Been constipated for about a week Developed a large boil on my buttocks That bothers me a lot when I sit Have quite a problem with my dentures They're false but not a great fit Aside from that, I'm feeling quite fine But I suffer from a mental problem I must keep taking my meds every day Sure can't go a day without 'em © Jack Ellison 2013 BTW This is NOT autobiographical! LOL

"Aside from that" - a true trooper, Jack. If you can handle all of that, you can handle anything! Great one :)
