Obvious Conclusion

You're chatting with your pals, but the subjects ain't the same!

No talk of sports or music, or movies you can name!

It's more the results of MRI's, CAT SCAN's and the such!

Medications that you're taking, how often and how much?

The Doctor's that you're seeing. What do they have to say?

Do you need special treatment?  Is your insurance gonna pay?

These answers, plus your aches and pains, you simply must contend,

the obvious conclusion, you've reached Old Age, my friend!


For Carolyn - My B'day - 6/16
