Touch of Placebo

£30 for a touch of placebo

Seems a pretty good deal you know

There may still be more to it than that

But that it cheers people up and thus helps with their health

Is a fact

Men in white coats

Just cant mumble proper

With toads and stoats

Leave mumbo jumbo to the professionals

There are those with a gift for where our dreams meet our loins

And our thoughts meet our feet

Try not to worry that you are losing a few quid

Out of the hundereds of thousands that you charge

So that Elsie can have something that smells nice

Under nose

And some kind words like a rose

True

Fake psychics

Who take your life savings

Should be resisted

But to call Gypsy Rose Lee

An 'Enemy of Reason'

For her palm of silver

just defies sanity.
