Hypergraphia Poem by David Mitchell

I have an insatiable urge to write
That possesses me throughout both the day and the night
I'm told by someone who was reading a copy of 'New Scientist' magazine the other week and I don't think is in the Mafia
That it's a mild psychiatric disorder called Hypergraphia
Which is a load of rubbish because I know damn well I'm not the only writer out there who doesn't think he has a mild psychiatric disorder
These psychiatrists really oughta
Psychiatrize themselves before they start psychiatrizing others
Because how can you say when there is a log in your eye that there's a mote in your brother's?
