Oh Doc

the head shrinker

Oh Doc

give me my diagnosis

no wait, tell me it's not psychosis

I'm kooky I know

but give it to me slow

I'm taking all my meds

why are you shrinking my poor head

Oh Doc

you tell me that I'm crazy

I think your being lazy

these images I'm freeing

are just another way of seeing

So Doc

don't tinker with my brain

I kind of like it half sane

it's not too contagious

though a bit outrageous

Great poem! I like the style you chose, almost cartoonish and the humour certainly didn't disappoint.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

next to last line..."too contagious"

but oh what a smile this brought to me...i feel half crazy at least half of the time...especially lately...

this is such a clever way of conveying that poet's feeling of insanity.

Its not the ones who know they are crazy we need to worry about, its the fruit loops that think they are sane.
I am so glad you wrote this, as it gives me another excuse to self describe myself in ten or less words...as nutty as an explosion in a snickers factory :)
Well if no one else says it, I will :)

ahh, one of my fav's , I definitely fit under the fruit loop category. you sound satisfying though acoustic.

[alifeacoustic]

Ha, all that chewy nuttiness :)

[David Scott]

Ah... but it is contagious. Maybe it should be.
Stay zaney!
Fun read.

[jesserose99]

Thanks David...I think it probably is more contagious then we know upon second thought...lol

[Alias]

I know the feeling, sometimes I don't want to be fixed 'I like it half sane' - fantastic! Really well written and I love the one-sided dialogue, it adds a little crazy ;)

[jesserose99]

Thank you...I'm glad you caught that. :)

This is cute and makes a very un-crazy point--that is, a little craziness may be just fine. Certainly, it can make us more interesting. Also, there's that fine line between crazy and genius.

[jesserose99]

Thank you Samuel, I like to hope so...lol (about that crazy and genius thing)ha ha
