POH me Please

I could not stand cancer
promise you’ll POH me
my husband readily agrees
Alzheimer’s would be my worst nightmare
promise me you’ll POH me if I get this
He agrees
POH means Pillow Over the Head
for those of you who do not know
If I get Parkinson’s
He nods
then he picks up a pillow
“Was that a sniffle?”
I cannot stop laughing
