"What's in a Word?"

Definition? Connotation? Synonyms?

What is your Pleasure?

What are your Whims?

OH ... the Pic? I called it "Scariest Plate."

Could this be How it all Began?

DEPRESSION?

© - Tom Hyland - 2/21/11

What is a Depression?
A Dent?
A Recess?
A Dimple?

Is it an Indentation?
Perhaps a Notch?
A ‘Boo-Boo’ on a Fender?
The Opposite of a Pimple?

Or, How about That Great One?
The One in 1929?
Could it be Either - Physical, or Social?
Is a Depression That Simple?

Then, There’s that Other Kind -
Depression of the Mind!
What Once was a Luxury of the Rich -
Has Now Found a New Niche!

About One out of Five can No longer Think -
Without Drugs, Given by a Shrink!
Medication, Therapy, and Costs Galore -
Pay Up - Else the Wolf’s at the Door!

Manic-Depressive is Now Bi-Polar -
Long-Term Therapy, Taking every Dollar!
Schizophrenia - Split Personality -
Mental Illness now Flows - Quite Rampantly!

Once Upon a Time -
When we didn’t Spend a Dime -
We All simply ‘Had Problems’
Now - the ‘Catch-Word’ - Depression - What a Gem!

Hey, without all the PROBLEMS, we might enjoy life a little bit, or in my case what's left of it. Now, I pay for so many PROBLEMS I have little time for my own!

There once was a guy with depression
He thought he would make an impression
So he bought a new car
But he didn't get far
He ran right into a recession

Thanks for the inspiration, Tom. Lol!!!

Love and peace,

Regis

There seems to be a pill for everything nowadays, especially things with regards the mind as its the easiest thing to regulate with drugs...now if only they could find pills to make Cancer, Diabetes,
and all the big ones go away...ed

Neurotics build castles in the air...
Psychotics try to live in them
Psychiatrists are the ones who collect the rent....
