Does anyone else get earworms from book lines rather than songs?

Crab in the cup, blob in the tub,
Each one pretends to be glad.
Brush, doing both lots of housework,
Knows they are lonely and sad.

Maybe because it’s one of my favourite books to read with my son but I just have this segment of “Sharing a Shell” going round and round in my head. Actually, I have done since I went to bed last night night. That’s not even the story we read last night.

I always have an earworm on the go, literally always.

My husband thinks that’s weird in itself as he never gets them, but especially as it’s not a song/music.

I need to know how many other people get ear worms that are not musical?

My husband has this and constantly chants phrases he's read. He also has an amazing memory for quotations from books/films/people

I get them for no reason at all! At the moment it's Adel's 'Someone like You'
It's never been one of my favourite songs....
