It’s out of my range to do a quick change
In moments of passion it’s becoming the fashion, to remain fully dressed, haven’t you guessed?
I made up that line to make me feel fine.
When it’s time for a shower I need a full hour.
The soap is alive, it’s doing the jive.
With a dopamine pill, it may become still.
The shampoo is gel it’s so hard to tell
I have to confess that I needed much less
There’s masses of foam, will it muck up the chrome?
At last I am done it’s not been much fun.
When did my clothes become sticky and putting them on was more tricky.
Are my arms just too long or my fingers not strong.
For buttons and zips have you any tips?
They fold and refuse whatever I use,
To fit through the gap, they now need a map
And zips with their teeth are not a relief.
They need careful adjusting it’s like they were rusting.
I need Velcro and poppers, please tell the shoppers.
No button down shirts. Could I ever wear skirts?
My pants aren’t that easy it’s making me queasy,
Two legs down one side “I’m falling” I cried
“ they’ve a mind of their own” I’m starting to moan.
Each separate sock, I have to unlock
Nobody knows I can’t reach my toes.
It’s the end of my feet that try to compete.
They get hooked in each garment, that’s not their department.
My least favourite task is having to ask, “ can you get me dressed” I think I’m depressed.
Attending the gents puts me in suspense,
There’s looks of surprise as I play with my flies.
It’s too difficult there, no wonder they stare.
The sleeves in my jackets are turning to packets.
Where’s the hole at the end, it sends me round the bend.
Would it be rude to just sit in the nude?
I’ll get dressed tomorrow, and maybe I ll borrow
A cape or a cloak but that’s just a joke
I’ll struggle and try. There’s no need to cry.
I ll dress and I’ll look like the men in the book
And no one will know it’s the Parkinson’s show
If it fits like a glove then heaven above
I’m now getting obsessed with trying to get dressed
While trying to shave, my hands won’t behave
Would it be weird to just grow a beard?
I’m starting to sweat but I’m not ready yet!
One thing that’s new I’m sharing with you,
My watch straps elastic, it fits me
FANTASTIC!
I
