Ostriches and Albatrosses

A Silly Sonnet
By Izzy Sommers


Superior construction proved to be
The envy of the Ostriches of Kent
Who craned their necks �til they were sorely bent
And needed chiropractic therapy.
The Albatrosses had constructed nests
Suspended from the atmosphere by tall
Triangular supportive posts by all
Reliable conjectures miles above the crests.
The Albatrosses in New Birmingham
Remained so smug for several years and sneered
At any Ostrich who had commandeered
A sky hook and took off to Effingham.
Imagine me preliminarily
Unable to address a Bumble Bee.


THE END

Hello Izzy,

I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better, it sounds like it has been
a very difficult time for you. I would be happy to connect with you again,
however we have changed our intake process and you will have to connect with
Gary (intake counsellor) first. I have forwarded him your number and he
should be in touch soon. I do have a bit of a wait list, but I am rapidly
getting through it, so wait should not be that long. If you are in immediate
need Gary will give you some information on where to get support.

Take care and will talk to you soon,
Sarah Beaton

Dear Sarah,

I apologize for not communicating with you for over a year. I had a very
severe Major Depression and a severe medical problem requiring
hospitalization for diagnosis and treatment. My depression is starting to
lift. My medical problems are in remission. I feel the need to resume
regular Cognitive Psychotherapy and Behavioural Modification and
Supportive Psychotherapy. I would be glad if you would see me again. If
not, I would appreciate a referral, if possible.

As well, I will be making an appointment to start seeing Dr. T. M.
Abraham, Psychiatrist, regularly, as soon as he returns from India. In
addition, I'll need to find a new medical doctor because my doctor
retired.

I hope all is well with you and yours.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Izzy.
