Trouble On the Bridge

Twice I read a note my wife left for me "Be home by four-thirty, love you" - she wrote Twice I read a note my wife left for me My wife said she loves me, she wrote a note Yesterday was my one-hundredth birthday Can I blow out the candles now; I think There is one slice of cake left on the tray Why are so many candles in my sink I think I'll make some eggs sunny-side up After, I read the left note from my wife Why is there no coffee-cream in my cup I will slice the cake with a butter knife I think my dementia disease doubled Just like a bridge over waters troubled A Bridge Over Troubled Waters Poetry Contest Sponsor: John Hamilton 5-13-2020
