Dementia



Subsequent sententiae will identify
serious dementia that no one can deny.
Erstwhile recollection clearly amplify
accurate reflection that no one can deny.
Erstwhile propriety completely ally
proper sobriety that no one can deny.
Erstwhile intelligence plainly verify
uncanny diligence that no one can deny.
Erstwhile overt hygiene utterly descry
rigorous health routine that no one can deny.
Erstwhile proficiency flawlessly imply
fitting sufficiency that no one can deny.
Erstwhile relationships merely objectify
accepted lifelong scrips that no one can deny.
Erstwhile allegiances patently rectify
rational grievances that no one can deny.
Preceding sententiae will identify
serious dementia that no one can deny.
