BUTT HURT BLUES

life can have issues

like a newspaper does

not always peachy

with sweetness and fuzz
.

some people crumble

like a cookie, i'm told

some cheap origami

all set to unfold
.

life can be painful

like a rock in your shoes

don't hang your head

while you sing butt hurt blues
.

life will annoy you

like mosquitos, it's true

knock you around

till your soul's black and blue
.

not always smooth

like a nicely paved road

more like a mine field

all primed to explode
.

life is a game

that you may win or lose

don't mope around

while you sing butt hurt blues
.

life will surprise you

like a ghost that says boo

sometimes as crazy

as days in the zoo
.

not always rosy

like a flowery bed

sometimes a demon

whose mouth must be fed
.

life may hold options

you're welcome to choose

but don't curse your luck

while you sing butt hurt blues
