Corinne Curcio Poet Light Verse

Freudian Slip/Jungian Drawers

Freudian Slip

Don't take this as a flippant quip
But you know what's showing?
Your Freudian Slip

You may think you're ultra hip
But your subconscious speaks 
Through the words that slip 

When you're flustered, try to get a grip
But you only make it worse
Over your tongue you trip

Don't bother trying to zip your lip
Let it all hang out from under
Your Freudian Slip

**************************
Jungian Drawers

This is no mere jest or hype
But you're my kind of archetype
Cast upon Plutonian shores
What showing? It's my Jungian Drawers

The Collective Unconscious is how I know 
That you love me, and boy, it shows
Freud and Adler are such wretched bores
To you, I'll toss my Jungian Drawers

Daver Austin January 30, 2009 at 7:19 AM Provocative! Even an old numb-nuts like me can appreciate your wit. I could read you all day, but my eyes give out, so bear with me. Love, daver

John Heck January 26, 2009 at 10:25 PM I liked this poem! Considering, Freud & Jung & Darwin are fascinating minds (to case-study themselves) - your humor within this poem made this write a psychological tongue-in-cheek parody to be enjoyed...and pondered. Peace always, John

Debbie Guzzi January 22, 2009 at 2:57 PM Try You may think THAT line 4. Taking out the YOUR in line 7 Work on the meter hon 8,6,5...it's uncomfortable having it constantly changing. Love Ya Debbie

Elaine George January 18, 2009 at 2:23 AM Dear Corinne, This is very clever and witty. In the FOURTH stanza I think you left out the word HANG. I wouldn't want this great poem eliminated from a contest because of a missing word. Great writing! Love, Lainie and, thank you for your kind comments, they mean so much to me.
