Collected Poetry of Jonathan Robert Lightwood-Wayland

by J.R. Morningwood

Hellooo! I live in an alternate universe. I'm a fictional character. In my world, the real Jonathan Wayland (that's me) never died and I go by J.R. :-) My wife, Seraphina has a forum called The Circle's Clave (sorry, I promised her a shout out) so anyway, go there for info. Cuz all my poetry will be about the people and the stuff that happens in our world. Please R&R thanks! ;-)

10. The Blues

The Blues

Oh B.B. why didn't you ever write a song about this?

Well I done screwed up.

Ba-na-na-na-na-na

I slept with my mother-in-law.

Ba-na-na-na-na-na

My family hates me.

Na-na-na-na-na-na-nuh-uh-uh

And I got the blues.

Ba-na-na-na-na-na

Now my wife and Parabatai.

Ba-na-na-na-na-na

Yeah both of my lovers,

Ba-na-na-na-na-na

Are sitting in hell.

Na-na-na-na-na-na-nuh-uh-uh

In the literal sense.

Ba-na-na-na-na-na

And I got the blues.

See B.B., it's like this.

I ain't got a valid excuse.

For my transgressions so I'm singin' the blues.

Maybe I shouldn't a done it.

True, maybe it was wrong.

And if you felt like I do now, you might be singin' along

Oh B.B., I done been a fool for far too long.

I said, oh-a-whoa B.B. I done been a fool for far too long.

So tell me B.B., since you're the King o' Blues

If you had a chance at another kingdom,

Would Elysium be what you'd choose?

Oh brother B.B., have I lost them? Is it too late?

If I could see their faces one more time I'd know that I would

Have a cause to celebrate.

So, forgive me B.B., I done been a fool now far too long.

Forgive me B.B., you might be the king, but some of us ain't so strong.

Oh-a-whoa B.B., I done been a fool now far too long.
