Can't....Stop....Evil....Worm


The brain worm swam
through the grey matter
as easily as a bird floating
on currents of wind.
Damn worm.
The dizzied victim wobbled,
knowing the source
but unable to do anything about it.
Sinking further into a mind scrambled coma,
he shared:

It’s raining men.
Thank you VH1 One Hit Wonders of the 80’s.”

If you want to know what the hell that means visit g-man.
The challenge is on.
Or come back on Sunday to try my Sunday 160.
If you can fill a text message, you can do this.
I am dedicating this 55 to my daughter, who watched VH1's One hit Wonders of the 80's last night and planted any number of awful brain worms in my head. Since I couldn't shake them, I had to share. So to all of you who have read this - You're welcome! Hope you enjoy this torture as much as I did. Perhaps my playlist will override It's raining men, but I doubt it.
Enjoy your weekend. - MM

A lone witness.



The jays screamed

from the safety

of pine branches

as the cat prowled

the ground.

The chickadee

was not so lucky.

A yard gnome stood as the lone silent witness.
