The Shrink Didn'T Care

My friend Al had a case of depression
Spent hours in psychiatric sessions
   His soul he laid bare
   The shrink didn't care
He billed even more for regression

--although it wouldn't be so bad if the shrinks provided something worthwhile in return. (OK, admit that some actually do...) ~ Gershon
