So true! My daughter and I complain about this all the time. Lately when I wake up in the middle of the night I hear the songs from Les Mis in my head. Do they play while I'm sleeping?
What a fun poem! Those things really can make you squirm. Right now I'm rehearsing the part of a Lithuanian immigrant, so I've been singing "Kalinka" for days. I feel I should put a bottle on my head. :)
Hi, Bridgette. Your poem would have particular appeal to my two teens. When I get carried away with a song that's stuck in my head, they definitely squirm.
Yes, my teenage daughter, too! It drives her crazy when I sing the same lyrics over and over again - but sometimes it is just stuck. =) Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for stopping by, Matt. No, I don't remember seeing ear worm comments on David's blog. The inspiration was my 9 year old who kept singing "Shines bright like a diamond" over and over and complained of having a ear worm. I was glad when she started singing something else. =)

Great poem, especially love "catchy ditty." :)

This reminded me of the ear worm comments on David harrison's blog - was that your inspiration? Fun poem.
I know, Liz! It's enough to make you crazy sometimes. Thanks for stopping by. =)
Thanks, Jama! It seems all the songs my teenage daughter wants to listen to are "catchy ditties". Thanks for commenting. =)
Wow, Renee, a Lithuanian song floating around my head would be amazing. Enjoy your part/performance. =)

Oh my, I've never heard that term for the getting a song in one's head that won't stop! So funny, Bridget.
"Ear worm" is a perfect way of describing a song that won't stop playing. What a fun poem!
I admire the economy of words in your poems!
Thanks, Linda! I have two pretty funny girls that give me lots of fodder for my poems. =)
Thank you, Violet! Sometimes kids say the darnedest things that are spot on for writing a poem. =)
Thank you, Mary Lee. I think it correlates to my attention span and snippet of time. LOL. =)
All the songs from Les Miz are spinning endlessly in my head, Bridget. Thanks for giving it a name...
Thanks for stopping by, April! From what I understand Les Miz has some very memorable songs...for better or worse! =)
