Caren Krutsinger Poet Personification

I Hope Freud Is Proud Socrates Said

Psychology has crossed the line again.
It was firm, in the sand, but she did not care.
Philosophy rolled his eyes, pretending it was okay.
Incorporating the infraction into a new theory.

Not on my watch! Socrates shrieked. He is the overseer
And as such, he uses only logic, nothing more.
None of that fru fru Freud junk is going to get in his way
Or slow him down or change his mind.

Psychology was chased out onto a highway.
A Mack truck ran over her, but luckily none of the wheels touched her.
She scooted off, running amok, as usual, with her craziness showing.
I hope Freud is proud of himself Socrates said, rolling his eyes.

Maurice Rigoler May 4, 2021 at 1:44 PM Karen, dear, you should of told us how Psychology "crossed the line again"? As for Socrates, he was antiquity's premier gadfly, and it cost him his life.If he were alive today he'd be laughed out of town or placed in a men institution. / Maurice Caren Krutsinger May 4, 2021 at 11:21 PM They would both be in mental institutions in straight jackets.
