Don’t Dementia This

We should all look forward
to dementia,
there’s nowt else certain,
that’s for sure:

Once embraced,
by this progressive disease,
it’s a drawn-out death,
of old memories.

History, recent years,
clean erased,
our marriage would be
disengaged:

So with presence of mind,
here, my living will,
at that point please,
fine wine, and the pills.
