Walk in Depressed Shoes Blues




Usual January blues,

New year news, old-year shoes

You’ll take this year in your stride

Journey's long: Ticketless ride


Morris dancing, got Mayday blues

Shoots spring sprung, canvas shoes

Ribbon twined around the pole

Nature blooms: Lonely soul


Midsummer heated, scorched earth blues

August cruise, boat deck shoes

Unkeen on ocean midday heat

Hot deck: You’re thermally beat.


Late October a chilling night

Children’s ruse, demon shoes

Trick or treat, this door stays closed

Fiends await: you’re all exposed


Wishing away these Christmas blues

Tinsel trews, Elfin shoes

Baubles, sparkling fairy lights

Naughty listed: Yearly tripe


Usual January blues,

New year news , old-year shoes

You'll take this year in your stride

Journey's long: Ticketless ride


I refuse to travel your way

Can’t choose, your depressed shoes.

Remove that yesterday frown

Can’t excuse: Dragging us down
