Well I started the week with what I thought was a bit of humor, but apparently, I was among the few who felt that way. So let’s try again shall we? This is more straight-forward in its content. I do hope you will give it a chance to tickle your fancy, or whatever you have that needs tickling!
Have yourselves a great weekend, and be safe,
Jake.
How much do you charge an hour doc?
I Am What I Am, But What Am I?
I am passively aggressive
I’m openly repressive
casually obsessive
remarkably unimpressive,
and my doctor says he thinks
I’m just confused.
But I think his diagnosis
is at the root of my psychosis
and electro-therapy,
I should refuse!
*
You see, I’m a healthy hypochondriac
with a frontal sacroiliac,
well that’s not quite true, and that’s a fact
but I was breast-fed, on Similac
and now my shrink is sure,
I’m crazy as a loon.
But when I ask for sage advice
he always seems to charge me twice
’cause now he says, I’m schizophrenic,
and we’ll be broke real soon!
