POEM OF THE DAY - "I'm In The Mood For Blues"

"I'm In The Mood For Blues"

Don’t jive me ’bout no country
or no heavy rockin’ tunes.
Today I want to cry a little,
I’m in the mood for blues.
Don’t want no pastel jazz
or pop with colored hues.
Today I need some somber soul,
I’m in the mood for blues.
A blue Monday fish fry
with a little gumbo too
and a screamin’ guitar player
to get you feeling blue.
Boy, talk about good times,
no songs touch minds like these.
When you’re singing from your soul
while cryin’ on your knees.
Forget a cab or city bus
I’d walk a hole in my shoes
to get to a good juke joint
where someone’s playin’ blues.
Round ’bout six up in the evening,
ain’t got no time for news.
I just bought me a new funk box
and I’m ’bout to play some blues.
So come on over and sit a while
and pay Mr. Pain your dues.
