Wasting Time

I simpy don't understand my new psychiatrist
I've already completed three one-hour sessions
He sits there transfixed, listening to me as if I were
the most interesting person to ever walk this earth...

I can't tell you one single thing about this fellow
other than he wears jeans, he's left-handed
and he doesn't need listening lessons
Next session, he talks or I walk

Why is he sitting there, wasting my time

I think you'd do better with a stranger on a bus or a hairdresser; they love to talk! "Next session, he talks or I walk: Hilarious! x
