“Please, Please, Please just leave me be” A tom-tom drum beats in my head Drumsticks ricocheting with no end Searing with a thunderous roar Until I feel like saying no more No more incessant rapping noise No more throbbing tom-tom head No more sickening fever pitch No more, no more A thousand times no more Cease and desist, I beg of you Just leave me be, pretty please at least grant me a moments peace Please, please leave you monstrous beast For you taunt and torment me For far too long And at the end of the day… All I have to say is ‘Please, Please, Please just leave me be.’ [This message has been edited by The Shadow in Blue (04-25-2008 03:33 PM).] |

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm glad you enjoyed my diddy on headaches-the little buggers that they are. I'm surprised it came out as well as it did all things considered (ie: I had a migrane during its construction *rolls eyes*. ~J.Nicole |
