Has Alzheimers Kicked In

why is the coffee pot making Kool-Aid again?
I stared at my husband. Was he bonkers or what?
He is older by seven months, has Alzheimer’s kicked in?
I have not had coffee for a week, so I have no answers.

I do know, that when I was drinking coffee, the pot was fine.
the pot sat empty on the counter, giving me a forlorn look.
Kool-Aid huh? I love purple and red Kool-Aid.
I decide to give the pot another spin.

All I get is coffee.
Now I am disappointed.
