Blues

9/17/18
"Blues""

They don't even notice a new you
Ooooo
They keep looking at me like I'm cuckoo
Boo-hoo
Who knew
I'd have such bad juju
All that's left is a doll used for voodoo

Any day now I'm due to
Evolve into Mewtwo
Then I'll be a guru

Just love me,  since very few do
Nothing I said is voulu

I’m looking for a nice girl that can dance in a tutu
Her name doesn't have to be Lulu


Taking a cruise
Got the blues
My grasp on reality, I'm starting to lose
No longer minding my P’s and Q’s

Continuing to booze
And snooze
Had to pay my dues

Can't follow the clues
Must be missing a few screws

Heart beaten black and blue
An endless ooze
Of blood followed by a bruise

Not a single soul whose
Able to walk a mile in my shoes

No longer amused
Or Enthused

At a rapid rate I consume
Substances being abused
Aghh, I'm so confused
To tell the truth, it's of no use
Because I've always been doomed
Overhead a black cloud loomed
And there was endless gloom

I Improved
Then fell back and lost my groove

She sent me nudes
Of much more than her boobs
To me and ten other dudes

Then she had an attitude
And wanted to feud
Because I wasn't in the mood
To put up with bull, go ahead and call it rude

Whew!
For you
I made more than room
And then boom
There you were marrying a man born with a silver spoon
Able to literally buy you anything underneath the stars and moon

Picking flowers that recently bloomed
To whom
It may regard, may this lead you to a boon
With something so very opportune

Got to keep making moves
After what I choose
All while sampling different foods

Nearby a lagoon
Just following my own tune
Looking up at the moon
While atop a dune

Time has once again proved
That from the picture, I've already been removed

It's okay because this afternoon
It  will all be over soon
