EMPLOYEE

My old friend has hired
The ghost of Sigmund Freud
As her typist. He’s grumpy
And sometimes translates
Her writing into literary German
Still, it seems to work. Judges -
She’s a lawyer -- are used
To looking grave over papers
They don’t understand.
When she asks him why
He’s returned from beyond
To type for such meager pay
He only nods and says
" Warum stellst du diese Frage?"
