Please Refrain

“But don’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart, I just don’t think he’d understand.”

Despite my struggles to suppress the hateful tune, it warbles repeatedly from my throat like a demented lark.

“It’s called an earworm,” my co-worker snickers.  “You’re welcome.”

    • It’s actually a true story. The “co-worker” was a fellow bartender. He used to earworm the other bartenders just as it started getting busy and you were powerless for revenge. His other favorite was “Oh Mickey, you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey!”
