Inconvenience

INCONVENIENCE Home : Take one cube of gravy essence, stir it fretfully, if I still dare, into boiling, or at least hot-ish water; such senior movements made with care Care Home : Drizzle ointments, yea, and potions onto wrinkled tangerine skin of arthritic hands, hips, knee-bones, prey to crocked aches, and pains within Hospital : Please do ignore me gaily, while I toy with food, well, pap, served up each day; don’t tie me into bed, I’m already tied to head. I pray, sometime soon that I’ll be on my way Thereafter : Finally to discard this worn-out old suit trade incontinence for what seems the same, but with new ability : to bawl up a storm, and minor inconvenience - this fancy new name Alan McAlpine Douglas (Challenge words : cube gravy fret with drizzle tangerine prey arthritic toy tie)
