I'm fine, how are you?

"Health is like money, we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it..." - Josh Billings

(A visit to the Heart Centre)

I'm Fine, How Are You?

There's nothing the matter with me,

I'm just as healthy as can be,

My pulse is weak, my blood is thin,

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

All my teeth have had to come out,

And my diet I hate to think about.

I'm overweight and I can't get thin,

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

Sleep is denied me night after night,

But every morning I find I'm all right.

My memory's failing, my head's in a spin.

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

The moral of this as the tale unfolds,

Is that for you and me, who are growing old.

It is better to say "I'm fine" with a grin,

Than to let people know the shape we are in.

I'm fine, how are you?
