Word Association

I, daily, tick off items
from the to-do list
carefully compiled
by my psychoanalyst.
Yesterday it was the Rorschach,
the test with the inkblot,
but every smudge I saw
for me was a blind spot.
Today the exercise
is word association
to examine the extent
of my mental aberration.
He begins with bee,
I reply with bonnet;
he then says poem
and my response is sonnet.
We go on and on
like this for ages,
enough for anyone
to explode with rage.
Finally he finds that I
am not really crazy
but just laid back
and a wee bit too lazy.

No no, these are well
No no, these are well-deserved the cherries, Luigi. Love the looseness of the rhymes, and the way this flows so easily, while still creating a convincing character. Beautifully done - hats off!
