Nut Soup

Twas decreed
by reliable shrink authorities
that extremely warped me
is definitely
manic depressive..
obsessiveness compulsive..
psychotically repressive..
anti socially self destructive
with just a pinch of OCD..
and a few other quaint acronyms
I fail to recall
cause I don’t focus too well
(must be my attention deficit thing)

Of course this made distraught
having so many things wrong with me
that I felt a smothering sense of inadequacy
so my self esteem was destroyed
and I became unhinged at the very thought
that quite possibly I was a misfit toy
adrift in a sea of social uncertainty..

This feeling was compounded
by the diagnosis
that my dire mental condition
was so hopeless
and beyond modern medications
that the best remedy for my ailments
would to become a psychiatrist myself

Today I am a world renowned head doctor
dispensing the best bar tender type advice
and mood altering elixir cocktails
to the Loony Tune populace
