The Folks are in The Home
It’s best they’re not alone
Card games to fill the daze
Its loads of fun they say
The Folks are in The Home
Sure the hours drone
TV’s great company
And gossip, hey it’s free
The Folks are in The Home
This we do condone
And if they get depressed
The pills will help with stress
The Folks are in The Home
We talk with them by phone
On Sundays we drop by
At least we sometimes try
The Folks are in The Home
We drive them all around
Cause this is love we say
The Doctors fill their days
The Folks are in The Home
Their room is just on loan
But only if you have the Bucks
If not well gee that really sucks
The Folks are in The Home
Ill health they are so prone
Care-aids are the front-lines
To deal with their Behinds
The Folks are in The Home
Soon they will be gone
There’s nothing quite so hard
As cutting the umbilical chord

Well said, Jean.
Funny this one should arrive today. I just learned that one of my uncles, the second husband of my dad’s sister, is now in hospice care and not expected to live much longer. My dad’s oldest younger brother died last week. I’m not terribly close to Dad’s side of the family, though one of my cousins keeps me apprised via e-mail.
What year, huh?
Hope you’re doing okay.
Debbie
