Off the edge of my memory, I have an old poem floating around in my head
about the metals of old age.

My hair is silver
My teeth are gold

My butt is full of lead

And so it goes on. I've tried Google search, and also search my emails
stored on drive. Can't find it. Who has th is?

Well, don't know about that one, unless it's this one:

Magnifying My Personal Wealth

I have just realized that I am worth a fortune: silver in my hair, gold
in the teeth, stones in my kidneys, lead in my feet, and gas in my
stomach.

I have become a little older since I saw you last and a few changes
have come into my life since then. Frankly, I have become quite a
frivolous old guy, but seeking out dear friends every day.

As soon as I awaken, Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then I go see
John. Then Charlie Horse comes along, and when he is here, he takes a
great deal of my time and attention. When he does finally leave, Arthur
Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay
in one place very long, so he takes me from joint to joint. After a
busy day, I'm really tired and glad to meet Ben Gay before heading off
to bed.

Phew! What a life!

P.S.: The preacher came to call the other day. He said at my age I
should be thinking about the hereafter. I told him, "Oh, I do that all
the time! No matter where I am -- in the living room, at the store, in
the kitchen, or doing the laundry, I ask myself all the time, 'What am
I here after?'

With thanks to Marvin Delgado who had reposted it... somewhere ... I
can't remember and I just *looked* at the silly page.

You want MORE? I should think that would be enough. MLB

"Did you know that we old folk are worth a fortune? We have silver in
our hair, gold in our teeth, stones in our kidneys, lead in our feet,
and gas in our stomach.

I have become older since I saw you last and a few changes have come
into my life. Frankly I have become a frivolous old woman! I am seeing
six gentlemen every day! as soon as I wake up Will Power helps me out,
then I go to see Jimmy Riddle and then it's time for breakfast with
Mr.
Kellogg followed closely by the refreshing company of Mr. Tetley or my
other friend I only know by his initials P.G.

Then comes someone I really don't like at all Arthur Itis, he knows he
is not welcome but he insits on being here, and what's more, he stays
for the rest of the day. Even then he does not like to stay in one
place, so he takes me from joint to joint.

After such a hectic day I'm glad to get to bed (and with Johnny Walker
too!) what a hectic life. Oh yes, I am now flirting with Al Zhemer!!
The
vicar came calling the other day and said that at my age I should be
thinking aboutthe hereafter. So I told him I did that all the time,
For
no matter where I am, in the bedroom, the kitche,the sitting room, or
the garden I ask myself "now what am I here after?"

Well I'll close now and hope that Will Power is your constant
companion
too, but sat clear of Jerry Atric..he's bad news !!!!"
