Study
Now that you’re
analyzing others
Because off to school you have taken
Psychology, your course of study chosen
And new words at home you’re quotin’
It’s the testing to which I’m objectin’
Our son you say has a
problem:
“Desatellization”
you’ve determined
If you’re thinking I’m “difficile”
Just you wait a little while
To “capitulate” is out of the question
But my dictionary I’ll keep handy
Until this crazy stage has ended!
Well, Let me tell you how I’m feelin’
It’s insane I’ve been driven!
But forgiveness I will grant to you
But heretofore FORBID further analyzation!
You’re not a doctor . . . not quite yet!
And a lot you havta learn, I bet!
Especially, if it’s better terms
you’re
hopin for our home
You’ve kept me on my toes, it’s true
And I want you to know this part too
I’m just as proud as I can be
Of my
husband and his study

A coworker asked me to write this poem. I had to look up the meaning of these words. Sattelite has a medical definition. Difficile or deficit (?) means one who is deficient to my best determination. Those of you who have taken psychology and are familiar with these terms, please advise. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDifficile could mean indifferent. I couldn't find it in the online dictionary.
