Osteoporosis, spinal stenosis
halitosis, that's the grossest
Hemorrhoids, hypo hyper thyroids
gallbladder removal will leave a void
Arthritis, pyelonephritis, gingivitis  
we will survive in spite of these
Toe fungus will not be the death of us
its' cure you will ask what was all the fuss
Crooked toes, snotty nose, itchy...

Genetic Lottery Wheel


Playing the genetic lottery wheel taking another spin
Hoping it will pass me by but I always seem to win

Placed around the wheel various illnesses and diseases
Addictions, mood swings or joints that ache or freezes

Diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis
 Thank God I haven’t...

So with no other issues in your family health care history
You still may have risk factors for several diseases
Just by belonging to a particular ethnic group

A Doctor’s Personal Notes

By Elton Camp

See John Jones on my appointment list
Several things on which I must insist
Even though I know he’s doing just fine
A few little tests won’t be out of line

No X-rays since way last year
Even though they came up clear
It would be...

Kept in a bowl
Muscles attached to skin
With minimal control
We move a bit if we swim

It's important we keep our organs in line
Lungs, heart and intestines
Once I. Had an ovary move out of place
I knew because it floated right by my face

We breathe and we survive
We...

Betty was petite most of her life,
lately her doc telling her she was
getting even smaller,
due to osteoporosis and
her getting older,
she was shrinking an average of
5 inches every year,
so by the time she was 65
she was as small as a 
button on a teddy bear,
her husband...

My bone crumbles
        Osteoporosis to blame 
      if bones should crumble then I'll take tumbles
        and life won’t be the same

I AM  ELDERLY AND THIS IS HOW  DOES AMERICA TREATS ME---

I AM...
Elderly;
And how does, How does America?
Feel, this is real, how they treat me;
Treats me!

75 million devalued and hidden;
Beginnings onslaught fragile, feeble maybe broken, brittle;
burden on society, winding down;
Love lost children don't come...

Osteoporosis?
Or just because he's forever bending over
    picking up stuff
        stuff to stuff in the bag slung over one shoulder
He has a slight limp
    perhaps from the weight of the bag

My bones are old, so I’ve been told;
It’s osteoporosis.
Accepting that if I go splat
I’m done – that’s the prognosis.

So when it’s cold, I’m not so bold
To walk if streets are icy.
One little slip may crack my hip;
To chance it might be dicey.

And so today, I...

We endeavor vigorously from dull dawn to dusk,
As we fly from bloom to sprout in quest of nectar,
Men stand to amass by swapping honey for bulk,
The hive will be mostly empty and left slightly ajar.

As per rhetoric, our stool can serve to treat cancer,
All ulcer...

It was
the most loaded question 
I ever heard from
a skeleton with skin 
and bones, 
mascara, 
blush, 
eye shadow,
and lipstick.
The question spills out
dribbles through Nana's lips, 
down her chin,

slowly 

hanging 

there

waiting 

for Mom's answer

My mind wanders back
to summer beach days
in Cape Cod, MA
when I found money...

Time took a running start and kicked me in the back
Breaking my C-2 Vertebrae. No biggie.
I have had worse. I take a swig on my cig.
Neck brace? Sure. Why not?

Time slams a Chevy into the back of my car.
Breaking numbers six and seven in my...
