DR. PHIL*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a furry psychologist named Phil,
A doctor whose wit and wisdom gave many a thrill.
Peering over his glasses, he said with a grin,
"Do not fret! Getting old is a win-win,
For now I can nap anytime, of my own free will!"
With a twinkle in his eyes, he spoke of the years,
And how aging can lessen our worries and fears.
"Though my hair thins and turns gray,
And my muscles ache and joints creak all day,
I’ve got many stories to share over pretzels and beers!"
"Listen! Don’t worry if your memory fades,
Or if you need a nurse or medical aide,
For each wrinkle and laugh line you gain,
Is a story of life well lived, not one of pain,
And the best wine is aged! Remember the Rolaids!"
To his adoring fans, he waved ‘goodbye,’ hands in the air,
He spoke of the joys and burdens we older people bear.
“Age is about relishing your remaining time,
Drink it up like a well-aged liqueur or wine,
Savor old age with happiness whilst sitting on your derriere!”
Note: *Phillip Calvin McGraw, better known as Dr. Phil, is an American television personality and author who is best known for hosting the talk show Dr. Phil. He holds a doctorate in clinical psychology. (Source Wikipedia.com)
