My Weekly Group Session

"I'm talking in rhyme during our weekly group session
about panic attacks, schizophrenia and depression.
I can't stop rhyming, it's becoming an obsession.
I can't stop rhyming during our weekly group session.
Hello Carl, Hello Barbara, Kathy and Donna.
Want to talk about smoking marijuana?
Perhaps a different substance abuse?
Oh what the hell, what's the use?
I just can't stop rhyming during our weekly group session.
Let's talk anger issues or maybe passive aggression.
Will I ever stop rhyming during this weekly group session?
And hey, did I happen to mention 
that I can't stop rhyming during our weekly group session?
How are you today Kamar?
What do you think of all this so far?
All of my rhyming during our weekly group session.
Will my condition get worse if I continue to converse
in poetic verse during our weekly group session?
Would medication do the trick or would it just leave me sick?
Sick here still rhyming during our weekly group session.
I must get in control of this soon or I'm mentally doomed.
I'm exhausted from rhyming during our weekly group session.
I can't take this anymore. I'm marching out that door.
I'm relieving you all of this annoying obsession.
Please don't take this personally but I'll keep on rhyming obsessively
if I spend one more moment at our weekly group session.
I think I just learned a very valuable lesson.
I should never speak in rhyme during our weekly group session,
because as you all can plainly see I ramble on endlessly
whenever I speak in rhyme during our weekly group session."

...then I walked out the door and said no more.
