Wave warrior!

I’mI’ an ageingi surferf on theth latest mal I ride,

Does it keep me fit and healthy? I’ll let you decide!

I may not rip and tear like I did in my younger days,

However, I’m still hanging five and ten and gliding across the waves.

I’m in the surf and eager nearly every morn,

My body should be jumping but all I do is yawn.

A daily dose of Celebrex relieves my aches and pains,

While a beer or wine at night will always do the same.

Glucosamine works wonders and relieves my problem knees,

And Voltaren really helps mym shoulder pain ease.

My local chiropractor growsg richer by the week,

He’s worked my body over andan says my future’s bleak.

I’ve had sun spots zapped fromfro my back, nose and lips,

And next week I’ll see the doctor to check out my hip.

I had a great surf yesterday as I often do,

But please don’t ask me where it was, I haven’t got a clue.

So all you keen young surfers take note of what you see,

Keep enjoying your years of surfing,

As one day you’ll be like me.

Yes, I’m an ageing surfer on the latest mal I bought,

Surfing keeps me fit and healthy or at least that’s what I thought.

See you in the surf! Denis Lowe, Terranora NSW
