Juke (intro-itis)

It happened yesterday

I stood up slowly, medication,

walked to the kitchen

to put the kettle on

and suddenly realised

I was singing ‘Day Tripper’

what the fuck! where did that come from?

I hadn’t heard it on the radio

haven’t heard it for donkey’s years

so why?

Again today,

washing-up and I suddenly start

digger-dagging the intro to

‘Layla’, I have no clue

do we all have an internal 

juke box that throws out these tunes,

now seriously spooked!
