Senior Alphabet Soup

The letters that tumble are All out of order But into the soup pot- It just doesn’t matter There’s HBP, RLS, DM And then… Here comes some more… Don’t let them in! Before the lid’s on… A few more jump in! And OA and LE Don’t make me thin! Of alphabet soup I’ve had my fill Cause each one comes With a brand new pill. So on NS With all my friends I’ll shake my tail feathers So no more jump in! And in return My support will be Always there For GOs like me! This poem was written while being on a forum called ,” Golden Oldies” or GOs NS-NutriSystem HPB-High Blood Pressure RLS-Restless Leg Syndrome DM- Diabetes OA-Osteoarthritis LE-Lymphedema

How clever, Ruth. The GOs rule here in Florida and I enjoyed the way you employed the alphabet not only to make a point, but to create humor as well! Seniors rock. Love, Carolyn
