Understanding Stress
Be positive, life can be jolly
In spite of its complexities
Advised the doctor.
Mother’s Little Helpers are folly,
They won’t score any of life’s niceties
Continued the doctor.
And you wonder, does he (she) understand
What I’m saying or am I just a name
In the computer.
Perhaps understanding is banned,
You’re just a patient, they’re all the same
In the computer.
So spill it over a caring friend
Who’ll reassure you, you’re not round the bend,
Who’ll support you till the miseries end
Without a computer.
(Fortunately, my doctor is not like this)
