HINT OF TRUTH
It's just a throwaway line, that's meant to make us laugh
And yet a hint of truth is there as well.
Pretending we don't care is often the way to go
If someone makes our life a living hell.
A bully only enjoys his 'craft' if he can get 'results'
A happy smile can turn his wrath away.
Pretending not to care is a weapon of defense
So we can learn to cope another day.

THE BLUES
I wonder why they say 'the blues'
As though that colour is bad news!
I find blues of every shade,
Even when, in time, they fade,
Restful, soft and really charming.
To say they're sad is quite alarming
And yet the lyrics of blues songs
Always refer to unrighted wrongs,
Broken hearts and Love gone awry,
Words designed to make us cry.
It's very odd! Nobody thinks
Of saying 'Listen to her sing the pinks.'
