For My Age

I had a bone density test;
My skeletal health was assessed.
            I got the report;
            The numbers support
That my bone mass has slightly regressed.

Expected results for my age
Match the info I read on the page.
            They gave me a tip –
            I could fracture my hip
But most likely will not, by their gauge.

Though the mirror assures me I’m old,
It’s still shocking in print to behold
            That my bones are less dense,
            A direct consequence
Of the number of years I’ve been doled.
