The Psychological Cripples

At the cafe tables, newspaper stands, 

At the concerts, and on golf-courses, 

Linger on the Psychological Cripples. 

 

They come from abusive homes, deadbeat dads, 

Who wish they didn’t have children dutifully call. 

And mothers for whom every slight is a grand offense. 

 

I have taken their hands for my doctors’ experiment, 

Back to the laboratory at Lions’ Gate; 

I’ve got a blender that I put them through. 

 

It’s too bad they won’t be home for Christmas, 

It’s too bad we must examine them; I get 

Paid bimonthly to show them compassion.
