A catchy song

stays with you for the day

always in the back of your mind

it replays itself

ad infinitum

you can hear it

the notes the words

the familiar chorus

repeated over and over

as the mind rewinds

like a tape played back

until finally it ends

when you shut it off

by pulling the plug

called sleep

tomorrow a new song

will substitute

to sing along to

to make the day go better

to put a smile on your face

to help carry you

through the day.
