A woman was feeling depressed
In spite of being well dressed
So she stripped to her undies
Ate a chocolate sundae
And is now really feeling quite blessed

A woman was feeling depressed
as her capris were not pressed
she stripped down
only wore her crown
still feelling so very supressed!

I know it sucks!!

A woman was feeling depressed.
Her hair took the shape of a nest.
It happened one day
A stork had to lay
A big baby on top for a rest.

A woman was feeling depressed
As her kids were not leaving the nest
And try as she might
They wouldn’t take flight
Leaving her gravely distressed

A woman was feeling depressed:
Her sweet kids were leaving the nest.
In their place comes her mother
Self-centered as no other.
She helps her but Oy! What a pest!

A woman was feeling depressed,
S.A.D. in the Pacific Northwest.
Spring came just in time
With warm rays of sunshine;
She has put thoughts of moving to rest.

Combining this prompt and the last one:

“Diptych”

From the definition of “diptych” in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary:

“Tablets recording a list of the living and the dead who were prayed for at the Eucharist; the names themselves…”

There once was a man with no hair
Who pined for a visage more fair
From days long ago
That all of us know
The death of which all must forbear.

A woman was feeling depressed
Her beauty, she knew, was suppressed
By oncoming age.
The crux of her rage?
An outcome she could not contest.
