I thought these sweets were
batteries .
but they don't work.
Pardon my confusion.
I thought the coffee
stayed in the fridge
well it says it freeze dried.
Pardon my confusion.
I put fresh soil to make
my coffee but they say it
is freshly ground.
Pardon my confusion.
I went shopping with
my monopoly money
but it was-not valid.
pardon my confusion
I put snowballs
in my washer
but the washing
did-not come clean.
pardon my confusion
I was looking for my phone
its sits on the table
in front of my eyes.
pardon my confusion
I picked a cake icier
to pump up my bike.
pardon my confusion
Last of all I locked myself
out of my house
and lost my way home.
pardon my confusion.

WOW! I love the "pardon my dementia" repeating part... Made the reader feel like they were going crazy themselves!
Great write, and thanks for sharing with the group!

Dementia is really not a funny topic, but you have poked fun at it in such a cute way in these lines. Hope it soon clears up. LOL

these were all pretty funny to me and as for the grammar it doesn't bother me because ... well pardon my dementia
Thanks for sharing with the group.

Grammatical errors throughout the piece but it was pretty interesting. I smiled at the ground coffee part but didn't really understand the other ones. Maybe I should excuse my own dementia. Thank you for sharing this with the group.
