ETHNIC ALZHEIMER'S

You forget everything--


except grudges.

SANTA'S A PRICK

for keepin my baby
all to himself
tucked away
& toasty
sipping
a Hot
Toddy.
Next thing you know
he'll be taking
a dump
down my chimney
this Christmas Eve.
I'll have a pail out
& shovel
just in case...
and a shotgun
for his pale
white ass.

Jewish Alzheimer's
my diagnoses:
I forget everything,
except grudges.
