case_images: Examples of verse produced by the patient (transcriptions follow). (A) To tidy out cupboards is morally wrong / I sing you this song, I tell you I'm right. / Each time that I've done it, thrown all out of sight, / I've regretted it. // Think of the treasures now lost to the world / Measureless gold, riches unfurled, / Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds - you must have had them, / All tucked well away. / So // To tidy out cupboards, throw rubbish from sight / (Even the poems you write up at night) / Is morally wrong. / So I'm keeping this one. (B) My poems roams, / They has no homes / Yours', also, tours, / And never moors. // Why tie them up to pier or quay? / Better far, share them with me. // Prose - now, that's a different matter. / Rather more than just a natter. / Prose is earnest, prose is serious / Prose is lordly and imperious / Prose tells you, loud, clear, that / Life - life is dear.
