I read about the drabble genre (stories of 100 words) at another site and decided to give it a try. Anything Paramount/Viacom recognizes as theirs probably is, but Song Sung Blue belongs to Neil Diamond. By the way, the decision about whether the reference is to Archer/T'Pol or Trip/T'Pol belongs to you!
Singing the Blues
Two men with woman trouble sat nursing blue drinks in a dive bar on Risa. Andorian ale or Romulan ale? Who knew? By this round, who cared?
One said, "Cool and serene . . . my ass!"
"I hear ya, brother!" the other said. "Logical and emotionless . . . bull!"
An old Earth song came on the karaoke.
"Dare ya!" the second man said.
"Me and you are subject to the blues now and then," the first sang in only slightly slurred Andorian.
"But when you take the blues and make a song . . . ," the second man chorused off-key.
Yep, song sung blue, everybody knows one!
