A Hole In His Head

Doctors said, drill a hole in his head,
So we can see what's going on.
There's no other way,
To delve into psyche, find lost
Soul, put Humpty back together again.
With a hole in his head,
We can fish for answers
Among the smattering of gray matter
Still functioning after lobotomy,
Shock treatments, decades in
Medication-induced stupor,
To find out what's going on.
Once, he was normal, wrote
Long love poems, wooed and won,
The love of his life.
The bullet that stopped her life,
Stopped his life,
Leaving no choice
But to drill a hole in his head.
