Chasing the Blues Away

Depression wasn’t that a period of time? Chased away with each clocks chime... To chase the dreaded blues away Go and buy a can-of yellow paint spray. A glass of gin and a friend to chat What can there be better than that? A lover’s arms holding one tight Let’s hope he’s in when I call tonight. A roaring log fire and bottle of wine I will be his and he will be mine. The blues are gone banished for good Packed away where all blues should. A warm bed and bubble bath Always good for a saucy laugh Deep dark moods are banned from here Life is good so be of good cheer. Each added day is a blessing too Since you met me and I met you. So blues are gone forever more From now on that’s Goldie's new law © 06/02/2013~GG~ Contest Entry: Chasing The Blues Away
