Where Are You My Dear?

Where are you my dear?

In the kitchen or in the room

The creaks I hear let me know you are here;

Come home from work so soon?

Dinner is on the table

Yet, there is no need to rush

But my favorite show is on cable

So please do try to hush.

This morning I had the hardest time, you know

Getting dressed and such

My arms they shake worse now than ever;

My feet don’t arch so much.

By the way,

You really need to fix the bed

Its legs have become weak

And the screws rusted—dead

It wobbles back and forth

When we sleep

And I can’t res—

Are you there my dear?

I believe I heard you walking up the stairs.
