Observations
Betsy Harper
I have dementia
Sorry if I repeat things
I have dementia
In my neighborhood
Restraining orders are bold
And often fatal
Why do boys hit girls?
It’s obvious, he replies
They just don’t listen
Diabetes sucks
She says, as she picks up the
Orange and syringe
I wanted a sign
God took my smoking finger
My eye, and my leg
I like getting old
Arthritis and hot flashes
Building character
I have dementia
Sorry if I repeat things
I have dementia
