It won't be a silent
night this Christmas in
the Psych Ward.
There are some real
wack jobs in here.
One guy grabbed his crotch,
and said, 'I have hold of all my faculties.'
The nurse asked him what
drugs he was on,
He said, 'It's not the drugs that are
the problem, it's the women.'
Maybe he's not as crazy as I thought.
I shouldn't talk; I'm getting
ECTs (Electra Convulsive Therapy)
One of the side effects is
memory loss. I hope they make me
forget the last woman in my life.
Life is so odd.
I'm locked in the nuthouse,
getting shock treatments.
She's home in her apartment,
cooking and cleaning,
crazy and mean as a shit-house rat.

A little bit scary this one, you get the picture as you are reading it, enjoyed the read.
Thank you.
You are very welcome
Such is life. What a crazy and scary journey that can be. You just told me so Thomas. None of us know where we will end up or why. As raw as it can get.
Thank you.
Doh! I got banned from medical training - did I? lol. I gave a patient ECT. They said 'Nooooo, should have given him an EEG' (Electro-Encephalo-Graph for his head). He blew a fuse as I gave him 10,000 volts. lol.
Thank you.
Even the dead it seems donโt get silent nights, but that a whole other poem and a whole other world it seemsโฆ might fancy a ride down the Styx one dayโฆ. But I digressโฆ strong solid poem here kind sir. ๐๐ป๐๐๐ป

This one really packs a punch, Thomas. This has a unique rawness.
Much appreciated, my friend.

Thank you, sweet Teddy.
I spent Christmas 1999 in a psyche ward. Learned that people who claim to hear voices really do. And yes, it's the women. Nice work.
Thank you.
This came across to me as bitter sweet - a fun read with dark undertones - a great read,
Thank you. I appreciate it.
