Oh, No, That Song

Hear the hated song
Think things will go wrong
Cannot relax, on edge, scared
Expecting illness
My fate seems hopeless
Sweating like a creature snared

Play the remedy
Callas works for me
Relax, unwind, heave a sigh
Play again for luck
Lets me off the hook
Smile and wave ill luck bye bye

A person can soar with Maria Callas and so many others. Love the classic feel in this.

Ha I have heard a song many times that I hate. Every time it comes on the radio I go Oh No Not That One Again. Good job here. God Bless, JB
