Taking one for the team, this Comedy Writer seeks a cure for inauguration anxiety, subjects herself to analysis for Inauguration Day Blues!

Sitting in the therapist’s office for my inauguration anxiety.

THERAPIST

And why are we here today, Marilyn?

ME (looks around)

January 20th.

DOC

I’m booked – sorry.

I don’t want an Appointment – I don’t think I can live that day.

DOC

Is this sudden or been going on a long time?

2015.

DOC

That’s a long time – what have you been doing for it?

Writing funny articles.

DOC

Does it help?

Sometimes I feel like smiling & then poof – he says something else!

DOC

Who?

You know – Trump.

DOC

I don’t follow politics.

You’ve got to know something about what’s going on today.

DOC

Nah, I tuned out when Hillary told him he was a Puppet!

Then you’re not right for me.

DOC

I can be impartial.

No, you haven’t been tortured the last 8 years – you probably still think the sky is blue.

DOC

You’re troubled – have a tissue.

ME (shakes the doctor)

The Presidency is being subdivided! Trump has 9 to 5. Musk has 6 to 12 & the Janitor has Midnight to 9 AM!

DOC

Okay, okay – I’ve got Hypnotism, Exorcism or I hit you with a Hammer!

Don’t you have a Pill?

DOC

A 4 year pill?

ME (salivating)

Yeah, yeah!

DOC

None that I know of – now you got me depressed.

You should travel, Doc! Look at these brochures! Greenland may be in flux & Canada…well, you’ll need a Secret Handshake!
