A friend of mine recently reached a significant birthday and this song was composed by a fabulously creative couple in her honour.

It made me laugh so much that I asked for permission to share it here with you!

A’s for Arthritis

B’s the bad back

C’s the chest pains, perhaps cardiac?

D is for dental decay and decline

E is for eyesight, can’t read that top line!

F is for farting and fluid retention

G is for gut droop which I’d rather not mention.

H high blood pressure – I’d rather it low

I for incisions with scars you can’t show

J is for joint, out of socket, won’t mend

K is for knees that crack when they bend

L’s for libido, what happened to sex?

M is for memory, I forget what comes next

N is for neuralgia, in nerves way down low

O is for osteo, bones that don’t grow!

P for prescriptions, I have quite a few, just give me a pill and I’ll be good as new!

Q is for queasy, is it fatal or flu?

R is for reflux, one meal turns to two

S is for sleepless nights, counting my fears

T is for tinnitus, bells in my ears!

U is for urinary, troubles with flow

V for vertigo, that’s dizzy you know

W for worry, now what’s going round?

X is for X-ray and what might be found

Y for another year I’m here behind

Z is for zest I still have – in my mind!
