Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Uh-Oh Here Comes Drama Queen

He is a schizophrenic. 
And of course, which expert is saying this to me?
A person who has never met a schizophrenic, of course,
She might not even know a schizophrenic if we made them
Wear donkey tails, and let them bite dramatic people.

The same drama queen runs into my office 
Two hours later.  “She is emotionally disturbed.”
 Same expert, naturally.
I try not to laugh, keeping my mouth straight. “The five-year-old?”
Head nod. 
What did she do?
She put red lipstick all over her mouth like a clown.
What else?
Isn’t that enough?

No.

Michelle Faulkner December 19, 2018 at 4:30 PM Makes me think of some people who see anything creative or unusual as a sign of mental instability! Caren Krutsinger December 19, 2018 at 4:42 PM People never cease to amaze me; some would be shocked at how fast they become "material" in my poems.
