Crossed Wires

I went to see a psychiatrist today He studied me in a very strange way He grunted once and then he said "Let me try to understand what's in your head" I said "There's nothing wrong with me I'm as intelligent as can be" Two more grunts then he exclaimed "Let's begin. Tell me your name" "My name is Mr. Downtoearth I'll tell you that for what it's worth" "Ah said the psychiatrist, with a penetrating stare With a name like that, we have to take care" He stroked his beard and gave a sigh Tut-tutted twice and closed one eye Looking at me with limited vision As though it helped him to reach a decision He clasped his hands around his knees Blew his nose loudly and gave a sneeze I said "I do not need a physician I am Mr Downtoearth, the hospital electrician!"
