Therapy

When I say ‘therapist’
some people think
that I am insane
and seeing a shrink.

I do not suffer
from an Oedipus complex
and nor am I
obsessed by sex.

I do not need Freud
to explore my mind,
I am having therapy
of a different kind.

I am in the hands
of a chiropractor
as my backache
is the main factor.

She is very skilled
and she’s no slouch.
I get truly pummelled
as I lie on the couch.

I derive pleasure
and a lot of thrill.
I softly moan
while keeping still.

Perhaps after all
I am a masochist
and what I require
is a psychiatrist.
