The Humorous Side of Ageing
Having trouble picking up my pills
Lost sensitivity in my fingers
Must be careful to take the correct dose
It's important for my well being
So what's just ahead what will it be
What's next of my senses to go
Like my balance remaining upright
Can be a dangerous situation
Another is my speech unable to form words
Not as serious but very frustrating
Thirdly but not the least bit worrysome
Unable to get a good night's sleep!
Loss of eyesight and hearing are next
Bumping into walls is a side affect
The results of both are pretty dramatic
But can be lessened by artificial means
Well there you are my elderly folks
If you haven't reached it yet it's coming
Not something to look forward to
Sorry but it's an unavoidable phase
