Goode Guy Poet Rhyme

Muddy Melody

there's a song stuck in my head
ba da da daaaahhh...
not a lot, but a bit of a bar
ba da da deeeee...
spinning 'round my ears too near
never able to get out of there, i fear
it'll never set me free

i can't hear it's lyrical words
the band's name i'm unable to perceive
just burnt bridges 'n' stanza's
is all i got command a
the whole song's impossible to retrieve

i can't recall who sung it
nor can i recall the composer's name*
ba da da da - a few notes is all
i seem to recall but 
it's stuck spinning just the same

when i'm looooong gone and dead,
i think i'd rather not hum instead
that darn song 'll still be in my head
to fill my afterlife with dread
bedamned reincarnated melody retread
oh, still that song stuck in my head
it's too hard to make it out - or to believe

* After driving me crazy to the point of poetic 
composition, I auditorially searched my extensive
Pat Metheny collection, since I suspected 
it was one of his, and finally came upon:
Pat Metheny Group-2002-Speaking Of Now-08-Afternoon
which is a very good song to get stuck in, 
if you've gotta get stuck
