"ODE TO THE MIDDLE AGES" 
by Judy

I've reached the Middle Ages
Well, hip hip and hoo-ray!
I never thought I'd live this long to make it to this day

I'm in my Middle Ages
How happy I will be
I won't care what I look like (without glasses I can't see)

Yes, in these Middle Ages
I hold things close and dear
Like heating pads and ice packs (and a bathroom's always near)

I love my Middle Ages
Now nothing can go wrong
Yippee!  My weight has shifted! I'm as wide as I am long!

So, welcome Middle Ages
I greet you with smile
My happy look is oft' mistook for "just a tad senile".

All the best to all of you,

Judy
