Advice Poem by Rayn Roberts

I had my annual physical today and all was well.
The doctor asked if I had any concerns, I said
I need a strong pain killer for a broken heart.
He laughed, but I said, I'm serious.
Nothing but booze helps and I get a hangover,
Can't you give me something for it?
He said, Look man, at your age
You've started the difficult walk
Down the senior path, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
My advice is enjoy the scenery.
I wanted to punch him, but his words hit me harder.
Wasn't it Harry Truman who said
I never gave them hell; I just told them the truth
And created it for them- Or words to that effect, say ahh!
