Doctor, doctor, I see spots!
My hands and arms are sporting dots!
Just melatonin brown, not furry,
we call those “liver spots,” don’t worry.
Doctor, doctor, tell me please!
What is this aching in my knees?
Mild arthritis, your disease,
these pills and Ben Gay offer ease.
Doctor, doctor, I’m distraught!
Magenta pee is what I’ve got!
That family picnic, rife with eats,
did you, by chance, try pickled beets?
Doctor, doctor, I can’t see -
to do the handwork dear to me!
Even if men don’t make passes,
you should try those reading glasses!
Doctor, doctor, ear-aid’s broke,
I hardly hear a word you’ve spoke!
A suppository's in your ear!
Is hearing aid, then, in your rear?

HOODWINKED !!!
What delightful dialog between you and the doctor. Oh the Joys of aging, you have described it so well! Love the humor and the light-hearted nature of this poem. Well Done!
You have been Hoodwinked by the Poetic Bandits today because WE CARE!

Funny!
This was fun to read and make me chuckle. Rhyme and meter are well done, too.

This is hilarious! Very cleverly written, and has a classic feel with the rhyme and meter. I can relate to a few of these too... The symptoms of aging can be quite alarming!

Thank you, Mallig
A dear aunt has reminded me over the years that "Aging ain't for sissies!"

So daring in your humor, dear
indelicate to say "your rear"
I must admit I am nonplussed
feel something less than pure disgust
a write that not many would dare -
You knocked me right out of my chair!
LOL! You surprised me. This is very funny!
The rhythm and rhyme is perfecto, the last stanza slays me!

Remember your poem a few months back that you kinda hoped I wouldn't get around to reading? Touche'! I was kinda hoping you might miss this piece *sigh* Did a better rhyme occur to you for 'rear'?
