Invisible - ME - I AM U. C. I am the ME, faithfully working be, Household to run, the invincible one! Living each day with rituals acquired, Bemused no doubt, dementia inspired! I am the one, there to wipe his bum, Abhorrent to some, try not to be glum! Staying up late, there’s meds to partake, Once in a while, a break I could take! I am the chosen, giv'n lifts to the frozen, Left in charge, the ships chief bos' un! It may be a breeze at my request to sneeze, CAREGIVER I be, But remember, I'm still ME!
