Freud paid his servants
Less per month
Than he charged his Psycho-
Analytic patients by the hour
This while docking wages
Of time itself
Giving short-measure inventing
His ‘fifty minute hour’
Now time has taken
Freud to court
Seeking a Class Action
For misanthropic trading standards
His sentence is implied –
Almost no-one cares the outcome
