Analysis of My Headache



I seem to have a headache,
That just won't go away
With all the quiet in the world,
My headache still will stay.

It came to me last night
And stayed on through the day
Oh such a night to feel such pain
The night I want to play!

It followed me 'til after work
The darn thing wouldn't quit
The hardest part of all I think
Was getting rid of it.
