Appendix

My pulse is weak, and my blood is thin

But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.

Arch supports I have for my feet

Or I wouldn’t be able to be on the street.

Sleep has denied me night after night,

But every morning I find I’m all right.

My memory is failing, my head’s in a spin

But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.

The moral is this, as my tale I unfold,

That for you and me who are growing old,

It’s better to say “I’m fine” with a grin

Than to let folks know the shape we are in.
