The Earworm…..

Oh it’s Politics on a Breakfast Show -

Sometimes good company with toast and tea:

A talkback comment on the radio

Has colonised my head and won’t leave me.

 

I have this earworm when a Pollie speaks;

Funny, a distraction but tiresome too,

Though a pearl among political critiques.

It’s stuck there, and there’s nothing I can do:

 

“This arvo I’m going to set my hair on fire and put it out with a hammer”

 

I’m thankful other topics are the show,

But the image remains at any rate:

Prevaricating politics, just go -

Please find a better way, or it’s too late.
