A Patient In Charge
I studied for years and got a degree,
and today I practice psychiatry.
The patients I see are twisted and whirled;
all seem to live in the weirdest of world.
They tend to see dragons and leprechauns,
witches and warlocks, flying unicorns.
Some even adore their pet dinosaurs;
believe in Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.
Some have their brain affected by party drugs;
or addled by ice and turned into thugs.
I thank my lucky stars I have my brain,
and I have a life that’s completely sane.
Today by appointment, a wife came to me,
for her hubby reacts erratically.
After drinking coffee he eats the cup,
leaving the handle for me to clean up.
‘This is really weird’ I explained to the wife.
‘In fact the weirdest thing, I’ve heard in my life.
You best bring hubby in for a heart to heart,
so I can explain - the handle is the best part.’
