CASE STUDY NO. 28

A German Shepherd called Mick
Came in, psychologically sick
‘I try counting sheep
Because I can't sleep
Then I dream I'm in Limerick.’

Doctor Bob says, ‘Your tale is fantastic
But I'm extremely enthusiastic:
Just sit in this box
And we'll give you some shocks.’
Asked the dog, ‘Isn't that a bit drastic?’

‘There, there, now. Don't be dramatic.’
Said Doc in a voice quite hypnotic.
But the treatment went wrong,
The current's too strong.
Now Mick's a religious fanatic.
