Two Limericks

 

Crazy Pride

There was a young manic depressive
Whose moods were considered excessive.
When asked why when manic
She created a panic,
She said, "I am being expressive."

 

Family Tie

There once was a father named Bryant,
Whose son was a mental health client.
He considered it sad
That his offspring was mad,
"Why can't he, " he said, "be compliant?"
