> Count yourself lucky -- not only do I get songs and jingles stuck in my head, on endless loop, but poetry, too. Often it's OK, since it's something I like and know by heart, but it gets horribly frustrating when it's part of one poem imperfectly remembered, often morphing into another before I realize that I have forgotten...

Anything would beat the 2 songs you mention -- right? Some of the Target ad songs are kind of nice and catchy when they aren't repeating.

I read of one woman with a post viral syndrome who complained of phrases from news reports and TV ads repeating, in addition to songs.

I don't recall hearing of poetry before. Do the poems diminish or stop when you are reading?

Interesting, but probably not related to our problem:

My former MD (I've mentioned his book here several times: "Tuning the Brain")wrote about a patient who spoke in rhymes. I can't imagine how the brain could do that, unless she spoke very slowly.
