Since Cheryl said we need it....

Dedicated to Catnipped with purrs for all the best.

Now I don't usually care for blues music but....

*enter SMOKEY*

I got those leaky-trailer fast-bunny hungry-feral ain't no pizza blues
I'm a feral boy, I been huntin' and been payin' my dues
But the jackrabbits keep gettin' quicker
if it rain's I'm gonna get sicker
cause the trailer's sorta wet and kitties, well we don't get to sue...

*enter NOCTURNE*

I've got the humans-are-so-stupid-I-don't-think-that-I-can-stand-it
blues....
Why can't the hairless monkeys do the things that I have told them to
do?
It's difficult running the planet
It's getting so that I can't stand it
I should ship them off to Pluto, blast a rocketship off on my cue!

*enter BITTIES*

We've got the sweet-little-kittens-Daddy-don't-you-make-us-grow-up
blues
We're precious little bitties, for the price of one you're gonna get
two!
And we're far too young to know better
Don't take us off to the vet-ter
Cause he'll put a thermometer way up where you hafta go poo.....

*all together*

We've got the It's-so-hard-to-be-a-kitty blues
Humans have no idea that it's so hard but it's true
To be the superior species
will shatter your patience to pieces
so if we caterwaul you'll know there's nothing more we can do...
but sing the it's so hard to be a cat
wears us out and that is that
spend all day just flopped out flat
from the it's so hard to be a kitty blues!

*clap clap clap* You GO kitties! I have many things to write about
in this thread, but I want to start with my f'd up job.

This blues ditty is dedicated to the idiots at work. The ones that
have caused me to develop a twitch in my forhead that starts up
every time I hear a commercial on the radio for the big company
that I now work for. It isn't the new company that causes my
stress, it is certain people I've worked with for years that have
all of a sudden decided that once given some "power", that they are
yielding it mercilessly. To the point that I can't do my job
without asking someone to give someone access somewhere. A thing I
used to be able to do myself.

Not very funny, but my first attempt.  Sung to the tune of Big Bill
Broonzy's "I get the blues when it rains"

I get a twitch now when it airs,
A twitch that I can't lose when it airs,
With each "ACCESS DENIED" that falls on my computer screen,
It mocks me of when I was diety of all that could be seen.
I'd sit and wait for the rights
To shine down on me once again,
It was granted when I found you,
You know, it was denied when you sold out,
I gets the blues, shitheads, when it errs.
I gets the blues when it errs,
Blues that I can't lose when it errs,
Each access denied that falls on my computer screen,
All they remind, shitheads, tears I shed in vain.
I'd sit and wait for the rights
To shine down on me once again,
Granted when I found you,
You know, it was denied when we migrated,
I gets the blues, fuckheads, when it airs.

Oh my goodness!! You guys are somethin' else! I think Cheryl & the
Kitties need to find a recording studio somewhere......I just about
laughed myself silly at the kitty blues, and I'm amazed at Cheryl's
blues-writing ability.

Did you just make this one up? It's hilarious. Do you have a tune in
mind to sing it to? I guess you could just do the standard 1-4-5.

These could be limericks too, sort of...

Made up off the top of my head at Cheryls' request.

I don't listen to blues much.  So, the only "blues rhythm" I have
memorized is two lines of a song in the old Tale Spin Cartoon from the
'90s called "I got those flat-broke sticky-shoed no-banana
boogie-woogie blues," and extrapolated the rest from there.

Now I can't stop laughing, dammit, I'll bust a gut!

THANK YOU!  That's the first time I've laughed in *weeks*!
