I've sat here now for 20 minutes and still no one comes
I will have 'In loving memory' imprinted on my Bum!
I hear you chatter while you sip your lovely cup of tea
I guess that you've forgetton all about me
sitting here on a cold china pan
while you share notes about your latest man
For goodness sake I've finished my wee
is it too much to ask that you finish your tea.
Finally you show your face
with a sorry disgrace
'Well I should think so too ' I say quite loud
'For goodness sake girl your heads in the clouds'
20 minutes I have sat here waiting for you to come
' I will have in Loving Memory imprinted on my Bum '

I would like to translate this poem
Another sad commentary of elder abuse. I've witnessed a similar circumstance involving my late mother-in-law....where she was absentmindedly 'lost' on the premises...for a very long time. Unannounced visits are paramount I think!
