good ol’ pop
by Brad Evans
after they confiscated
his walking stick
they had to move him to
3 different wards in 1 day.
when lunch came
he only gave it a brief glance before yelling:
PIG’s FOOD !
THAT’S WHAT THIS IS
PIG’s FOOD !!
and turned to another guy
in the ward:
SEE THAT GUY OVER THERE !
YOU’LL SEE THIS ON TV TONIGHT!!
I’M GONNA CUT HIM IN HALF
WITH A PIECE OF CORRUGATED IRON!!!
the medication came
not long after
and he sleeps more
than talks now
but I’ve got to admit
now that he’s got dementia
he’s got more life
than most guys
half his age.
