(9): DEMENTIA IS FUN, IF YOU DON’T HAVE
IT!
Three
elderly spinsters lived under one roof
The
sisters lived happily with their dog Woof
They were
known to be both gracious and kind
But doubts
abound if they were of sound mind!
Rose Mae
the eldest, a sprightly ninety-two
In the
pink of health, but for bouts of flu
Memory’s failing, but please tell her not
She’s at
that age, so let’s leave it to God
Bessie
Sue, at eighty-nine, was the middle child
Coughs and
colds were frequent but usually mild
She was
the most forgetful of the sisters three
Invites
guests for dinner but only prepared tea!
Ann Mary
at eighty-two, the baby of the family
Sprightly
and alert, she thinks she’s still sixty!
She was
the brains and had the looks to match
Playing
tricks and plotting pranks, just like Dad!
One Sunday
morning, Sue May needed a bath
Oh! When
has climbing stairs become so tough?
She
stared at the bathtub as she started to undress
In her
state of confusion, she shouted out to Bess
“Was I getting
into, or getting out of my bath?
Do come
and check on me, it is getting rough!”
With a
sigh, Bess dashed up the flight of stairs
She was
up halfway, and stopped right there
She was
all puzzled as she tried hard to think
Shouted
out to Ann, which ended in a scream
“Ann, was
I going up, or was I coming down?”
Ann
looked at up with a sigh and then a frown
“Oh, am I
glad my memory is still intact
Knock on
wood! Oh! Who took my hat?
Someone’s
at the door, could be my date
Don’t
wait up, I gonna be out very late!”
