Array ( [sid] => 52454 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Members of the Depression Fan Club [time] => 2004-06-17 18:39:09 [hometext] => While commenting on a poem, I had a brainstorm, and this is what was created.... it's supposed to be a comedy, but I've never written anything purposely funny before, and I don't know if it worked.... [bodytext] => She stands up quickly and calls the meeting to order,
Starts of with collecting the dues, a quarter,
The leader stands and says "My name's Rorri,
And if you listen closely, here's my story."

All around the circle they stop and look,
For this could only have come out of a book,
"When I was five I cut myself on a saw,
And found out that we're only meat that's raw."

She sits and asks who wants to go next,
A man stands and reads from his text:
"I've never had any of these feelings per say,
But I have been prosecuted, well, I'm gay."

Everyone chuckles a little bit,
Except the leader, she's having a fit,
"I'm sorry sir, your in the wrong room,
What you want's down the hall, behind the door marked 'Doom' ".

The man stays and says "let me try again,
I'm twenty-eight, and my name is Ben.
I've been taking anti-depressions my whole life,
I live on my own, I got kicked out by my wife."

Everyone looks around, all confused,
"I thought you were gay!" they all accused,
"Well, I was just trying to fit in!"
I'm at the back, sporting a grin.

I start the chant "faker", it turns to a shout,
The leader's had enough, and kicks him out.
She takes a big breath and tries to stay strong,
And says "oh, boy, this is all going wrong."

We finally get through all of the confessions,
Before the leader says we've all got depression.
We all laugh to relieve the stress,
Then we wipe our hands of this mess. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 221 [topic] => 7 [informant] => yellow_sundragon [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 26 [ratings] => 6 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

This is so cute. Reminds me a lot of meetings I have chaired. You should do life comedy more often.
