White People Also Get the Blues

B.B. King continues to sing the blues sings "They say things will get better but I don't believe that's true" Black people are not the only people who get the blues I have had them, believe me You can sing the blues in poetry if you want to B.B. King - still singing and playing "Lucille" I can relate!

All I have to do, Matthew, is watch the news to get the blues. Good stuff. Love, daver

I love BB King. Love this piece of poetry, too. We do get the blues and I write poetry when I get them, too.

Yes, many people get the blue. MY hubbie is one who has more than the usual! I probably have less than the normal!
