No Sympathy for the Devil
This original poem must include the prompt “pleased”
but The Rolling Stones have taken over my brain
“Pleased to meet you” repeats unappeased
maybe today I’ve overwritten or am going insane.
I’ll struggle on, do that rhyming thing
hope I’m writing words that aren’t lyrics
that they used to sing.
I could go on, but a lame refrain might follow
making ears bleed and poets cry
(at least it’s not poets dreamed–cause I’d wallow)
from Stones to Mclean’s American Pie
just too much to swallow.

Pleased to read you … 🙂
lol at least that’s a tad different than the one spinning in my head.
Thank you! 🙂
You can always replace it with “It’s a small world.”
OMG. That is so tempting…but I’ll pass. lol (I hope it’s not stuck now anyway.)
Hahaha….I think it’s called an ear worm…at least I think that’s the term. When I came out of that ride at Disney with my kids it didn’t leave me for days.
I actually wrote a post on ear worms last year thanks to a daily prompt word: brick . That one was Pink Floyd. (which I’m hoping to reinstate to get it’s a small world way far away!).
Post me the link to the ear worm one if you don’t mind.

It’s kind of a different entry from me, when I was still finding my blogging feet. 🙂
Cool. Good read. Thanks for the link.
🙂 Btw, welcome to blogging! Sorry I didn’t say it before.
Thank you. It has been a great experience.
Love this
Thank you! 🙂
You’re welcome friend 😊

Ear worms – got to love them! Like Thomas I had uts a small world playing on repeat for days after our trip to Disneyland Paris! And for no apparent reason,, the other day I had ” we all know frogs go la Di da Di da” refrain in my head all day! 😂😂🐻
Oh, no! 🙂
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and there’s a song already there…following me around. Fortunately not a small world.
Definitely have a love-hate relationship with ear worms. Just the other day I had a dream where someone got a song stuck in my head and it stayed with me after I woke up…
It sounds like that’s a story needing to be written. I unfortunately don’t need to DREAM that; it just happens. Wake up and for some weird reason Twenty One Pilots’ “don’t make any sudden moves” burned in the brain. Methinks the work the of the evil DJ Sleep Fairy?
