I have a skull-splitting headache over all this. My right eye is throbbing! I need an "insistent pill," about 15 hours of sleep, and some relaxing music... and a fresh pillowcase in the morning.

From the LP, McCartney II, here's Summer's Day Song, 1980


Here's my Migraine poem:


Rhythm of Pain

Despondency danced a bitter turn
Each step attuned to the rhythm of pain
And ague ~ Oh, what an insistent pill
A tyranny desirous of a last resort
Where pain is safely put to bed
Clubbed mercilessly and staining the sheet
One pill ~ One retreat and saving grace
And despondency cleansed and senseless in the surf

75 minutes of brain-cramping toil
...and a migraine in the wings


And speaking again of Wings, here's another selection from the McCartney archive... not written or sung by McCartney. Here's to hard economic times. Harry Reid? Nancy Pelosi? Pay close attention... this is not a silly love song.

"Deliver Your Children" by Denny Laine, from the LP London Town, 1977


There's a McCartney tune for everything that ails you...
