Vox Pop - Kate Fox
The Psychiatrist’s Confession
Need to go to Greggs more than once a week?
you may be Piecotic.
Washing your car give you all the joy you seek?
you're probably Auto Erotic.
I'm here to give you a label
give you a diagnosis
putting you in a psychological category
that’s just my little neurosis.
Someone who analyses fires
is a Pyrobrainiac,
a person who loves records more than cuddles;
a Decks maniac.
Like Hardy not Laurel?
Stanorexic
a hater of quiche?
Flanorexic.
Someone who has difficulty
deciding which side of the cheek
to present during social greetings?
Kisslexic.
Have urges to tread in drying concrete?
Cementia.
Get annoyed if climbing vines aren't neat?
Wisteria.
Believe you need to get another dog
to stop your first one feeling down?
You're suffering Twopets Syndrome.
Glad never to leave one particular Cheshire town?
that's Stockport
