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
