I Used To Have

I used to have, Teeth in my head, Now they grin at me, From the side of the bed. I used to have, A head full of hair, Now it’s gone, I must find, a hat to wear. I used to have, Perfect eyesight, Now I can’t see in the day, Let alone at night. I used to have, A wonderful complexion, Now I jump, At my own reflection. I used to have, A memory second to none, Now ten minutes later, My thoughts are gone. I used to have, A step that was sprightly, Now I need to pee, A dozen times nightly. I used to have, Such a cute pert bum, Now I just sit on it, Feeling glum. I used to have, A beautiful wife, Now she nags at me, Causing me strife. I used to have, All these things, To my life, Joy they did bring.

Hahahahaha....... Thought you might like that one, Rick. I thought I'd better do a comical one for a change. It isn't based on anyone in particular, I could just see it in my head..... Thanks again for your comments.
