Analysis of A visit with my shrink



An excellent doctor who likes people.
Even has an electric Yamaha piano for patients.
She never mentions depression.
And encourages all who are depressed.

I would do anything to be like her,
Tall, good mannered, and highly skilled.
Mom mentioned how men envied her.
Even as a young doctor everyone flocked to her.

For now, I shall have my satisfaction
Having helped.
