Leon Freilich, Verse Responder: Where Have All The Shrinkers Gone?

Where Have All The Shrinkers Gone?

Where have all the shrinkers gone,
This hot August?
Where have all the shrinkers gone,
When needed most?

Where have all the couch jocks gone–
Truro, Wellfleet, every one.
When will they all return,
When will they all return?

Where have all their patients gone
This hot August?

Where have all their patients gone,
Now August’s here?

Where have all their patients gone–
Had relapses every one.
When will the shrinks return,
When will the shrinks return?
