An ode to
old age
There's quite
an art to falling apart as the years go by,
And life doesn't begin at 40. That's a big
fat lie.
My hair's getting thinner, my body is not;
The few teeth I have are beginning to rot.
I smell of Vick's-Vapo-Rub, not Chanel # 5;
My new pacemaker's all that keeps me alive.
When asked of my past, every detail I'll
know,
But what was I doing 10 minutes ago?
Well, you get the idea, what more can I say?
I'm off to read the obituary, like I do
every day;
If my names not there, I'll once again start
-
Perfecting the art of falling apart
A final
diagnosis
Thought I'd
let my doctor check me,
'Cause I didn't feel quite right. . .
All those aches and pains annoyed me
And I couldn't sleep at night.
He could find no real disorder
But he wouldn't let it rest.
What with Medicare and Blue Cross,
We would do a couple tests.
To the hospital he sent me
Though I didn't feel that bad.
He arranged for them to give me
Every test that could be had.
I was fluoroscoped and cystoscoped,
My aging frame displayed.
Stripped, on an ice cold table,
While my gizzards were x-rayed.
I was checked for worms and parasites,
For fungus and the crud,
While they pierced me with long needles
Taking samples of my blood.
Doctors came to check me over,
Probed and pushed and poked around,
And to make sure I was living
They then wired me for sound.
They have finally concluded,
Their results have filled a page.
What I have will someday kill me;
My affliction is old age.

Problems
driving
Two elderly
women were out driving in a large car-both
could barely see over the dashboard. As they
were cruising along they came to an
intersection. The stoplight was red but they
just went on through. The woman in the
passenger seat thought to herself "I must be
losing it, I could have sworn we just went
through a red light."
After a few more minutes they came to
another intersection and the light was red
again and again they went right though. This
time the woman in the passenger seat was
almost sure that the light had been red but
was really concerned that she was losing it.
She was getting nervous and decided to pay
very close attention to the road and the
next intersection to see what was going on.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the
light was definitely red and they went right
through and she turned to the other woman
and said, "Mildred! Did you know we just ran
through three red lights in a row! You could
have killed us!"
Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, am I
driving?"
She is angry
at you
Worried
because they hadn't heard anything for days
from the widow in the neighboring apartment,
Mrs. Silver said to her son, "Timmy, would
you go next door and see how old Mrs.
Kirkland is?"
A few minutes later, Timmy returned.
"Well," asked Mrs. Silver, "is she all
right?"
"She's fine, except that she's angry at
you."
"At me?" the woman exclaimed. "Whatever
for?"
"She said 'It's none of your business how
old she is,'" snickered Timmy.
