Tuesday Poem - Hijacked

.
I have a song in my head
insistent as waves on the shore
I have a song in my head
no room for a brain any more

I have a song in my head
musak for the merry go round
I have a song in my head
every beat as my feet hit the ground

I have a song in my head
and it's wearing my patience away...

There's a song in my head
And the sea wont shut up
There's a song in my head
And I can't shut the door
There's a song in my head
Every thought now long dead
There's a song in my head
but I don't care anymore

ok warning. Next week there will almost certainly be swearing. I was thinking I could simply take out the stronger language, and I did manage to remove one. Oh, and last week I forgot to thank Tim, I don't think I could have created Ecila without our little conversation about rhyme :)

P.S. if you find your brain has been hijacked by this poem, I do not promise to give it back. Certainly mine has failed yet to return.

  1. Ah, earworms! The refrain of "When September Ends" by Green Day was stuck in my head for a long, long time - at least it's a good song. Oh no, it's back - da-da-da-da-da-da ...

    It's well worth reading "This Is Your Brain On Music" by Daniel Levitin - a neurologist and former record producer explores the neurological basis of music, earworms included.

    Thanks for the thanks, though I take no credit!

  2. Cheers Tim

    And as for taking any credit on a poem about slipping into madness - probably safest not to :)
