HEADACHES FULLY EXPLAINED, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: When curious pandora, luckless lass
Last Line: Before they come to me!
Subject(s): Headaches


When curious Pandora, luckless lass,
Brought all our pains to pass,
Releasing from that Box those winged foes,
The Troubles and all Woes,
They flew about on impish mischief bent,
And everywhere they went,
Until at last, grown homesick, they would find
The Box for them designed;
And, lighting on a hollow human head,
They made it serve instead.
Thus, ever since, when skulls begin to throb,
'Tis that unholy mob
Bold-beating on our heads with silent din,
Intent to be let in;
And in at last with stamping feet they come
To make our heads their home.
Oh, could I find Pandora's lock and key
Before they come to me!
