You Don'T Say

Lie down on this couch and let me delve into your mind
To see what makes you tick instead of talk
It's surely nice to meet you but, I haven't heard your name
But, as for me, you can call me Doc

How long has it been,  you haven't spoken
Oh, I've forgotten that you simply can not say
But now that you are here, you must learn to face your fears
You know that you Can't simply, walk away

I can sense that you seem a little tense
As you lie here very stiff upon my couch
Understand , that I really want to help you 
And sorry, if I seem like such a grouch

But it's difficult, for me, could you image
I'm not sure where I could or should begin
'Cause practicing Psychiatry's impossible  
When working on a Psycho Mannequin

The imagery and shear innocence of your words are impressively seasoned by your humor and wit. Emile.
