Stuck in my Head

 

I will never be able to get

This pounding noise out of my head.

The beat will stick,

Forcing me to walk in step.

The words make me

Want to sing –

Not out of joy,

But in a futile attempt to get the

Over-used lyrics out of my head.

Please, someone

Invent a machine

That will allow me to clean

The puddle that this

Cheesy ‘80s song

Has made of my brain.

With its corny rhythm

And crazy rhyme,

It has penetrated

Deep into my mind

And now I fear

I will never be able

To rid myself

Of the constant frustration

That comes from having

A stupid song

Stuck inside my head.

hahah perfect. especially since i know what song was playing.

this is lyrical, and holds just enough Funny to make it interesting. and even though it's humorous, you manage to get real emotion out of the reader, as well.

"Please, someoneInvent a machineThat will allow me to cleanThe puddle that thisCheesy '80s songHas made of my brain."

that was great, and the occasional rhyme worked so well, too.

and the ending was great. you took something that happens to everyone and made it Real, in a poignant yet funny way. great job :)
