The Butterfly Blues

The Butterfly Blues is when you've got just a TOUCH of the blues

No Ma Rainey or Muddy

Little weights clipping your wings just a TOUCH

No Etta or Billie Holiday

Only harmless troublings lighting about

Perhaps your favorite magazine stopped publishing 

or your picnic got rained on

or your best burger joint is closed for renovations...

That's when you've got The Butterfly Blues

NOTE: A fuller version of this ditty is available no strings attached to singers and rappers who might want to use it.
