Dementia

In the dictionary beside the word 'dementia' Is a picture of your man Jackers The description reads 'he's off his noodle' This man is totally crackers Not a sane thought in his whole damn noodle Couldn't handle it if there was Probably freak out and strip down naked Running hell bent from the fuzz Now Jackers shouldn't be judged too harshly He's really a gentle old soul Just that the years have caught up with old Jackers He's no longer the one in control So don't go feeling all depressed for this dude He's a real happy camper inside All he knows is he's loved by you friendlies And he's just along for the ride © Jack Ellison 2012

I think you been smokin' that wacky tobacky Jacky. :) Love that you call yourself Jackers. I was heartily laughing all the way though the first time. It's a fine line we walk. But, I think most people get that your just bringin' the fun. I certainly enjoyed it. But, I think you should keep your clothes on. :) Keep em' smilin' Jack.

I think your faculties are firmly in place probably because of all the synapses you have developed writing poetry. Another fun one.

What a poem you have written. There comes a time that we might get dementia, I hope that I don't. It's no fun for the people that have to take care of you. My sister in law had it and her had a hard time dealing with it. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law! Maybe I shouldn't have made fun of something so sad and so serious! My apologies! Love, Jack xox
