Rude Awakening

MY new cell phone plays
A choice of wake-up song.
the right start to my days
is going very wrong

I chose a pretty theme
But now, alas, I find
That blasted repetitious meme
Has occupied my mind.

  (CHO:)
  Pachelbel, Pachelbel,
  Filling up my brain.
  The thunder of the Canon
  Is driving me insane.
    (2x)

A charming piece composed
by Johannn Pachelbel.
What idiot supposed
this phone could play it well?

Unmodulated tinkling
Of just eight bars' extent
    (spoken:) Repeat!
Of just eight bars' extent
    (spoken:) Repeat!
Of just eight bars'--
    (spoken:) NO!...
A mind-block better than the best
that Bester could invent!
