Egoland

Some person had half-inched the “L”
From the sign beside the gate
And so we went to EGOLAND:
From early until late.

We took the kids and bought them snacks
One chocolate bar per kid.
And rode a subby conch-shaped cart
Descending to the Id.

Halls of Lacanian mirrors staged
Glass concave and convex,
Located in a Greek-style campus:
The Electra Complex.

Watched the dancers: the can-can
Showed off the ladies’ knees;
More risqué were the con-cons flashed
In the valses-Viennese.

So many fun diverting things!
So much to be enjoyed!
Neurosis void, by fun be freed:
Don’t be afraid of Freud.
