DEMENTIA

When speaking of Dementia, 

Most people think ONE thing,

Someone, drooling at the mouth,

And memory, cannot bring.

 Unfortunatly, they do NOT see

The 'person true', inside 

That aging shell of bones and flesh,

Where memories do abide.

SO many words are going through 

Their mind, at such a speed, 

The person, can't get right word out.

Eventually concede

To use whatever IS there,

MOST times to us, seems daft,

Though to th'one who's speaking,

THEY wonder why you laughed.

Then also, why you scoffed at

The words, they DID attain,

In fact, they still are TOO smart, 

Words wont stop, in their brain.
