in the dementia Lounge

in the dementia Lounge

the old guy said..
I couldn't come in,
You're not a member..
you're not allowed..
Be off or I will get Big Jim,
you're barred..!
Charlie, I said.. I am a member,
anyways I'm affiliated,
"show us your card!"
I forgot it,  let me come in,
and take a seat,
"You can't sit there"
he said,
"I'm saving it,"..
for our lass,
and he placed his arm
over the easy chair..
"What times the Turn on"..?
"and keep off the Bandit..!"
You're not a member..
and I just smiled and sat,
holding his hand,
Whilst the Nurse gave him
his meds in a totty of rum..

Tragically beautiful, yet so true.

it actually happened, because of his illness he would want to lock up of a night, and I had a snug full of revellers, I dont know if it was funny or sad, there is also a bus stop upstairs and they que up waiting for the bus, breaks my heart to tell them it's a Sunday Service and they cant go home till tomorrow..
