tis the season
for blue moods
that take over the room
when you’ve got your eyes closed
sick and tired of hearing
Ho Ho Ho

bending over backwards
to please
or appease
getting no thanks
so you consider a drink
instead
of being jolly
instead
of hanging holly

waiting
for “white” Christmas to end

sometimes
what is really needed
a kick in the pants
to get you up
and dance

dance to your own tune
the one that brings joy
dance to the music
that spins in your head
is it the blues
well sing it out
……………… of tune
or in perfect pitch
tuning in
to your mood
scratches the itch
of the
……………….blue mood
