I 'm Fine

(A Poem Grandma used to read)

There's nothing whatever the natter with me .

I'm  just as healthy as I can be .

I have arthritis in both knees 

And when I walk , I talk with a wheeze .

My pulse is weak and my blood is thin ,

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in .

I think my liver is out of whack 

And a terrible pain in my back .

My hearing is poor , my sight is dim ,

Most everything seems to be out of trim ,

But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in .

I have arch support for both my feet ,

Or I wouldn't be able to go on the street .

Sleeplessness I I have night after night ,

And in the morning I'm just a sight .

My memory is failing , my head's in a spin .

I'm peacefully living on aspirin .

But I'm awfully well for the the shape I'm in .

The moral is , as this tale we unfold ,

That for you and me who are growing old ,

It is better to say ,"I'm fine " with a grin 

Than to let them know the shape we're in .
