The V.A.P. (The Very Agéd Parent)

Indeed, I am the V.A.P. 
I recently turn'd 83.
In hearing class, I scor'd an F. 
Without this pair of aids I'm deaf. 

   Oh, I'm the Agéd P, for sure. 
For ills I've got they've found no cure. 
Although, as optimists have said, 
most Agéds at my age are dead. 

   So: Agéd-wise, what lies in store...? 
Shall I survive till 84...? 
I'll mind my Agéd Ps 'n' Qs 
and pay -- on time! -- my Agéd dues.
