"Wake up" she said for I was sleeping
Giving me a nudge and then a push
"What utter nonsense are you dreaming?"
Couldn't think, then it came with a whoosh
Who can explain why we dream such things?
"Do that again, it's spare bed for you"
Said my wife with a word that stings
For in her mind dementia was a clue
I now curled up given that advice
She huffed and puffed a little harder
Muttering "This is no paradise"
While I thought of raiding the larder
For a long time I stared in the dark
Thinking of someone I could ring
But knew my best friend was at my side
Tonight I'll quit the booze, that's the thing

Sharing a bed can be tricky, Robin!
ReplyDeleteMust have been a difficult night!
ReplyDeleteThat indeed is the thing... Great and somehting of a 'wake up' finish to your piece - very effective.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the thing to do!
ReplyDeleteBooze before bed ... not the best idea. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteYikes.

Goodness! This took me back to every time I elbowed my husband and said "You're snoring again!" God love him, he's been gone now for over 40 years....a long time to hear my "I'm sorry"!

ReplyDeleteHard drink makes everything more complicated, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes!
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth were you saying in your sleep??? LOL!
ReplyDeleteDementia, booze or a dream state, whatever the case, he was under the influence.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, what a dream. Dementia and alcohol...what a mix
ReplyDeleteA shared bed has its pitfalls sometimes. I hope the next night was better.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! The morning after would have needed much explaining!
