The Ear Worm
The chant continued inside his head
“The time has come for you to dread”
It kept him awake all the night time
The ear worm continued being not so kind
For two days it continued on and on
The doctors were baffled by this persistent song
Until the second afternoon when it ended
With the words, “It’s here,” not any further extended
He was so relieved that he could only smile
And there was no explanation to go the mile
He left the doctor’s rooms and was driving home
When the sky turned fiery red and all hope was gone.
