“Never leave your purse lying around and be glad he still remembers who you are.” ~~The Poet~~ I resolve that the next time my husband goes for walk to the shop and comes home with a trolley full of lollies, biscuits and cakes, before losing my temper I will go outside and do six triple twist somersaults on the trampoline, come back in and smile sweetly as I find room for all the stuff, finding the docket in one bag for over $400.00. I resolve that I will not even lose my temper when I have to call the shop to tell them that someone has left a trolley of theirs in our driveway. I resolve next time it happens, not to implicate my husband, as being the reason we are unable to pay bills this month, when I call each company to ask for an extension of time to pay. I resolve to give away as much as possible of the sweets, not allow my diabetes 2 suffering husband to eat them and try very hard not to eat any myself. I will try very hard to laugh, stay alive and out of the nut house so I can look after my husband as long as possible remembering dementia is an awful thing.

Reminiscing about the good times had with childhood friends was a pleasant side effect of reading your poem. A slew of excellent choices. Each one is viable and impressive. Your writing style exudes a wonderful, funny aura, which I adore. A Fave for me. Good luck with the contest dear SV
