A "recovering academic", I have left the world of research and teaching Psychology. My current focus is on offering hypnotherapy, Reiki, and spiritual support for clients and hospice residents. I like to express myself through the arts, especially drama (the quirky-comic relief part),stand-up comedy, painting, and the fiber arts.

The Ballad of M sung to the tune of Yellow Submarine

Several weeks ago I was honored to be feted by my church sisters. We had a time of worship and prayer together, and then I was treated to a wonderful hour of funny songs and skits.

Knowing that I would shortly be moving to a flat on Abbey Road, these wonderful women took some tunes by the Beatles and updated the words. My sincerest apologies to Ringo Starr regarding this opus by Eileen C.:

In the town of _________ Mass. lived a woman who yearned to be
Where Big Ben chimes out the time and folks watch telly when they eat Tea

So she gathered up her brood, cleaned and packed and purged and stowed
Bid farewell to all her friends, and let a flat on Abbey Road

(chorus)
M____ has let a flat on Abbey Road, a flat on Abbey Road, a flat on Abbey Road
M____ has let a flat on Abbey Road, flat on Abbey Road, flat on Abbey Road

As she goes about her days she will love the London scene
Purchase Marmite at the shops, and do Reiki on the Queen

M____ has let a flat on Abbey Road, flat on Abbey Road, flat on Abbey Road
M____ has let a flat on Abbey Road, flat on Abbey Road, flat on Abbey Road

(spoken)
Full speed ahead, Mrs. H, full speed ahead!

Pounds to spend and stones to weigh, honor's list and Albert Hall
BBC and ITV, Glastonbury Tour with Sir Paul (ha-ha-ha)

(repeat chorus)
