Sing this to the tune of “My favourite things” from the Sound of music. If you sing it out loud it is even funnier.
Senna and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts ,and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin’,
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin’,
And we won’t mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I’ve had,
And then I don’t feel so bad.

    Hi elsie I printed this out and took it to hospital lol I got everyone singing it from the projector to the original tune, lol they got half way through before one little old dear (Enid) laughed and coughed and her top dentures flew out as she laughed and said ” you silly bugger, them’s not the right words” lol
    She said I don’t know this lady sending these jokes but she needs to come and teach some of our nurses a sense of humour.
    You win again honeyx

  11. littlela says:

    yea, but what if you didn’t have such a great life?
    Is there still hope?
    This is me, but what do l want with someone LIKE me???
    One piece of good news- no trouble finding a spouse (you would never want and who will leave, hopefully after you’re dead) because so many illegal immigrants will do anything to get American citizenship!
