I AM FINE

There is nothing whatever the matter with me I am just as healthy as can be -

I have arthritis in both knees and when I talk it is with a wheeze
My pulse is week and my blood is thin; but I am awfully well for the shape i'm in.

My teeth will eventually all have to come out and my diet I hate to talk about,
I am over weight and cant fit into my clothes anymore; but I am awfully well for the shape I am 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 time,
but I am awfully well for the shape I am in.
I have supports for both my feet or I would not be able to get out on the street
Sleeplessness I have, night after night and in the morning I'm such a sight
My memory is fading, my head is in a spin I am practically living on aspirin, but I am awfully well for the shape I am in.
The moral of the tale unfolds that for you and me, who are growing old, it is better to say I am fine with a grin than to let them know the shape we are in!
