Little Boy Who?

Remember that dude Little Boy Blue?
Well, he's a very good a friend of mine
We used to have all night jam sessions
Just to help ourselves unwind

Of course, you know he plays a horn
And I play the doghouse bass
I knew that boy was going places
It was written all over his face

He played that horn like nobody's business
He could really moan the blues
Did I tell you I taught him all he knows?
You can believe that if you choose

I heard he's not playing anymore
And he's left the music scene
They say his lips shrunk, something awful
After an accident with hemorrhoid cream

That just goes to show you
You better look before you brush
Take your time and your lips won't shrink
And now, I guess, it's time to hush

Zing! I love it, Larry. My lips didn't shrink, but my mouth had an awful aftertaste. Enjoyed the reference to the hemorrhoid cream and the way it affected the horn player's ability to play the blues. Great write that goes to my favorites, of course. Love, Carolyn
