There's nothing whatever the matter with me, I'm just as healthy as I-can be, I have arthritis in both my knees, And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze, 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. And arch supports I need for my feet, Or I wouldn't be able to go out on the street. 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. Old age is golden - I've heard it said, But sometimes I wonder as I go to bed, With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup, and my eyes on a shelf, until I get up, And when sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf? The reason I know my youth has been spent Is my Get-up-and-Go has got-up-and-went! But I really don't mind when I think witn a grin, Of all the places my Get-up has been!" I get up each morning and dust off my wits, Pick up the paper and read the "'Obits"', If my name is missing, I'm therefore not dead, So I eat a good breakfast and jump back into bed. The moral of this, as this tale doth unfold, 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.

'People don't think bran muffins are quite as healthy as they used to! "Remember the good old days? You'd say 'bran muffin' and people's eyes would light up with positive associations. 'Bran' - good for you, Nature's Broom and all that. '*And 'Muffin'- what a positive word - so cuddly, so cute. Sounds like what you'd call your daughter when you tucked her in at night. 'Muffin' - it even sounds like some rich socialite giving the club at- tendant her Porsche to park. 'Well, there's still no doubt that bran is good for you. Bran is fibre - but then, there are five kinds of nutritional fibre, each with a different valuable job to do in your body. 'Bran, as it happens, contains three of the five types: cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. They're the ones that smooth the function of your large bowel and help keep you regular. '*But don't forget pectin and gums. They're fibres you get from a variety of sources. I've got it, J.B. - cauliflower muffins! Potato muffins! No? Just runnign it up the flagpole. "Look - we've got a dilemma here: people know they're supposed to increase their consumption of carbohydrates to roughly half of their daily calories. "Now, our muffins have got whole grains and that's good. But we've very heavy on sugar and refin- ed flour and that's not good. '*Let's replace the sugar with a sweetener, go to whole wheat in the muffin and run an advertising campaign encouraging people to eat more muffins. 'Get Stuffed With Muf- fins!" No? Just seeing if anyone saluted. '*Wait - we can't do that. Too much bran can bring on bloating and diarrhea. Too much fibre can pre- vent your body from absor- bing minerals. "How did we get into this business in the first place? Why aren't we mak- .ing English muffins? Now there's a food that really has positive associations. 'English Empire'. 'Oh, to be in England...' Images of pubs and Shakespeare. "Of course, too much ale isn't good for you, and if Shakespeare were really written by Bacon, that's a lot of saturated fat ...
