Louis Spence Poet Verse

MISTER BLUES

Aint no life without heartache, aint no love without pain 
Someday Mister Blues, he come callin' your name 
Aint no life without suffering, aint no heart without loss 
Prepare for life's sorrows, get measured up for your cross. 

You can be a big hitter or an average Joe, 
Live it up in a mansion or some hovel below 
You can dress like a pauper or wear the finest of clothes 
Aint no hiding from badass, Ol' Mister Blues knows.

You can give it the big licks, 'Look at Me Everyone' 
You can live in life's shadows, never seeing the sun 
You can be dull and dowdy or the belle of the ball
Till the day he says, 'Howdy', Mister Blues gets us all. 

You can ride fancy horses or an old pedal bike 
You can suffer in silence or scream all you like 
You can be a good father or a prodigal son 
When ole Bluesy's out fishing he nets us all, everyone. 

Aint no life without heartache, aint no love without pain
Someday Mister Blues he come calling your name 
Aint no life without suffering, aint no heart without loss 
Prepare for life's sorrows, get measured up for your cross.
