Puzzles Are Not Fun Now

Putting puzzles together used to be relaxing.
But now it is not nearly as much fun.
For I live with a grandfather who always hides the last piece.

We used to tolerate this behavior because he always appeared with it.
He has dementia now and forgets where he put it.
Thus, my puzzle-making days are over.

It is too frustrating now.
We also have a cat who loves to swish puzzle pieces on the floor.
Between the two of them they have ruined it for me.
