I've come to the conclusion I'm losing my mind
My family are supportive, and oh so kind

I put the milk in the cupboard when I've made my tea
Look in the microwave for sugar you see

Open the dishwasher to put the washing in
Wander around aimlessly looking for the bin

Go upstairs for...... Shit I forgot
Stand there for ages getting all flustered and hot

I ask my son " can you bring me the..... Dooda?
You know the thingy on the peg next to the Hoover

Open the oven to put the dishes away
This is just typical of my senior day

Go to the supermarket for some milk and ham
Forget what I went for, come home with jam

I'm losing my marbles, Ive gone off track
If anyone finds them could you post them back?

Who Are You Again?

She says I am her sister, I don't know her any more, All my memories gone They are melted on the floor.

Moving On

Sits in her chair, Sometimes just stares, All that she can talk about is flowers in the garden. Doesn't hear my words, Locked up in her own world, Shell is on, she's all gone, truly hardened.

I do things like this all the time. I once threw a twenty pound note in the bin and tried to pay for cod and chips with a kit kat wrapper.
