I am a mommy to two beautiful little boys. I love Mr. Chris Green and I love music.

I can’t remember (for Marcia)

I can’t remember..author unknown..

I found this in a poetry book..
and Nikki and I thought Marcia would like it.

Just a line to say I’m living,
That I’m not among the dead,
Though I’m getting more forgetful,
and mixed up in the head.

I got used to my arthritis,
to my dentures I’m resigned,
I can manage my bifocals God,
but, I miss my mind.

For sometimes, I can’t remember when I stand at the foot of the stairs;
If I must go up for something, or, have I just come down from there?

And before the fridge so often, my poor mind is filled with doubt;
Have I just put food away, or have I come to take some out?

And, there are times when it is dark, with my nightcap on my head,
I don’t know if I’m retiring or just getting out of bed?

So if it’s my turn to write you, there’s no need for getting sore,
I think that I have written and don’t want to be a bore.

So remember that I love you and wish that you were near,
But now, it’s time that I must say goodbye, dear.

There I stand beside the mailbox with a face so red;
Instead of mailing you the letter, I had opened it instead.

The Truth About Dogs and Men

Both take up too much space on the bed.
Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaning.
Both mark their territory.
Neither tells you what’s bothering them.
The smaller ones tend to be more nervous.
Both have an inordinate fascination with women’s crotches.
Neither does any dishes.
Both fart shamelessly.
Neither of them notices when you get your hair cut.
Both like dominance games.
Both are suspicious of the postman.
Neither understands what you see in cats.
