Strange and Silly Senility

Sometimes I am in denial I'm starting to go senile Forgetting things more and more My minds closing up its door My kids and hubby have a laugh Having fun on my behalf Turning it into a game To lessen my fear and shame There's no chance I'll be improving They keep me happy with amusing Stories of my grand adventures Like forgetting my new dentures In a box on the cab seat Making it so hard to eat Or buying a pretty dress So that I can look my best Getting lots of silly stares Without my bra and underwear Food shopping does not go well My family can never tell What is going to be made Home made soup or braised lampshade A chore that I should never do Is washing the clothes for you Red and white clothes joined in bleach Turns them pink just like a peach My antics is what you'll see Every day you are with me My family is never down When they have a live in clown Acting crazy and so weird From a disease everyone fears

lol Robin, I totally resonated with this poem. With my many long years of substance abuse, I have no doubt my brain is riddled with holes and gaps. I have a terrible memory and very limited concentration, attention and focus, which is probably why most of my poems are so short lol. Great piece, sweet pea! <3

i love the way you possess..literally like in a possession, different characters and become them, and not only that, see but feel the world through them, it is a real gift that you have..make sure ur words reach more people, its like the universe wants to tell mankind something and has hand picked a few to be its narrators...this is not flattery, it is my sincere opinion
