Pity Party! ...in 12 lines

Late-Night Radio

"Despite all our previous call-sessions, Dr. Shirley, 

my dark cloud still follows me everywhere. What can I do?"

~

"You can wrap yourself in it, Maximilian, and enjoy it, and stop calling me!"

~

" ...Huh?"

~

"You, and your precious hang-ups made that cozy cloud. Snuggle in! 

Hell, throw yourself a Pity Party!"

~

" ...Precious? ...Cozy? Pity Party?!"

~

"Self pity is comfortable, Maxy. There's no need to push yourself, because what's 

the point, right? Golly, gee, ya can't win anyway!"

~

" ...Is this some kinda reverse psychology, Doc?"

~

"You're darn tootin' it is! And I'm the one with the hang-ups! Click. 

Next Caller."

Love the word play in this one. We hang a lot with hanging out, hang ups, hang over, hanging low English has it's hang ups as well. Nicely done.

Thanks Soren! Some days, I guess, are just for hanging in there, and others for hang gliding :)
