The Retirement Years by Tony Fallon 12 2 2025 copyright

The retirement years have come at last Oh they have crept up o n me.fast

Nasty pains I get in my head and neckYesterday in the mirror I saw a wreck 

First aid won't  help the pain in my heelWhen I  go to church I  cannot k eel

Long gone are my teeth I  have no smileeI  can't sit long because of piles

The hair I  have left won't  sit neat I  have ingrown toenails on both my feet 

I  get pains when it rains in my varacous  veins

My nose runs like Niagara Blue cross won't  pay for viagara

Sometimes I'm  highly sedated And sometimes I'm  constipated 

The doctor says I shouldnt drive Eggs and tomatoes give me a hive

My heart has a flutter  so I  can't  eat butter

I can't  eat my favorite nuts They lodge for days in my guts

French fries have toomuch greaseI can't  eat duck I  can't  eat geese

I  check for sodium potassium and total fat Dietary fiber sugar and stuff like that

Vitamins herbs all kinds of pills Are fighting g aĺ my lousy ills

I eat salads and tofu before I nap But who the he'll wants to eat that crab

I eat an o ion or garlic we must part  Within a few minutes I  will pass wind 

Vicks for my nose drops for my eyesA Bottle of modicum guarantees. no surprise 

My favorite cigar I  can̈not smoke The nicotine might make me choke

No whoppers and definitely   no  MacThe fat might. cause a heart attack

Whisky wine and even Bud Mixed with my medicine are no good

I can't  eat pork or roasted veal Bran and baby food thats5 a big meal

I can't eat bologna  salami or ham And on my toast or bagel no butter or jam

The nutritionist  says you must eat more fish But a cheeseburger with fries that's my wish

Because of chloresterol  I  can't  eat red  eatAnd I can't  eat white bread only wheat

I hide in the closet and am discreet Whenever I'm  hungry and want to cheat

I hardly eat and am losing weight I'm so tired im5 in bed by eight

Almost every night I'm  in a dream Eating vanilla cherries and whipped cream 

In the morning I  don't  want to get dressed So then my wife says you're  depressed

She says she needs a vacation To get away from my hallucination

I thought my final years would be first class Not like hemorrhoids a pain in my ass,

The last two lines  can be 

Farse/Arse or Superior /Posterior
