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

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

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

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.
