The ABCs of Blues

An apple a day keeps the doctor away But what if you have the blues Can an apple save me from heartbreak Dare mitigate lost love so true Everyone has a love of laughs For it is much more fuchsia fun Going on the heart break path Harder to enjoy yellow sun Indigo blues can be beautiful too Just depends on how you denim deal Killing the mood with a chord or two Live music is the magical teal thrill Memories of joy we can sing Notes can bring feelings back Or we can dream of former things Pink reminiscing of the past Quiet or loud melodies so proud Really can elevate a mahogany mood Sending the crowd into electric shouts That paints the whole sky neon blue Under the spell music will gel Voices and hearts melt the same We all feel swell and time will tell X-ray vision displays notes on brain You can be blue and still choose to make the best of it Zip in that grin and bear within yet be saved by red kiss.

A beautiful Abecedarian so well crafted. Blues cannot be mitigated by eating apples but by melodies..."Live music is the magical teal thrill Memories of joy we can sing Notes can bring feelings back Or we can dream of former things" A practical way of dealing with blues. All the Best dear Karen.
