'Al Zheimer Will Be My Friend' Poem by Michael Micmac Mccrory

‘Al Zheimer will be my friend'

Where's Margaret?
Where's she gone?
Why isn't she here?
What have I done?
Who are you?
Al Zheimer, who's he?

Alzheimer's is a complaint, your slowly losing your memory dad.

Al Zheimer is complaining; he should remember where he is
If he's here in my house ask him where Margaret is.
Did he get rid of her; are you all trying to kill me?

Margaret is dead dad, she was my mum and your wife.

That's right Margaret; where has she gone?

Alzheimer's is not a joke
Nothing here, to laugh about
He wanders off to god knows where
To search for Margaret his one true love
She Is never there; her suffering done
His suffering is continuing on

His best days are over
His clear days are few and far between
He has only two questions to ask

Where's Margaret?
Who are you?

The answers;
Margaret has gone on ahead, to built your new home
I am your son I inherited your genes

Soon; Al Zheimer will be ‘My friend'.

So this is not the end………………………
