Books I'Ve Read - * Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde *

In his nature two halves vied.
Dr Jekyll and beastly Hyde
struggling each to get outside.
Jekyll cooked up a potent brew.
When he drank it: Switcheroo!
What resulted scared him too.
Had he been a smarter doc
he'd have scooted round the block
to the mental health hospital for some electro shock.
They'd have had him analyzed
(Schizoid type, externalized),
then, his psyche normalized.
Traumas would be transitory.
Gone would be all the details so gory
and then loused up would be a nifty story.
