steadily depressing
low down mind messin’ living
with the covid blues …
Adapted from the great Jim Croce and his song, Steadily depressin’, low down mind-messin’
Workin’ at the carwash blues.
Well, I had just got out from the county prison
Doin’ ninety days for non-support
Tried to find me an executive position
But no matter how smooth I talked
They wouldn’t listen to the fact that I was genius
The man said, “We got all that we can use,”
Now I got them
Steadily depressin’, low down mind-messin’
Workin’ at the carwash blues
Well, I should be sittin’ in an air-conditioned
Office with a swivel chair
Talkin’ some trash to the secretary, sayin’
“Hey now mama, come on over here,”
Instead, I’m stuck here rubbin’ these fenders with a rag
And walkin’ home in soggy old shoes
With them
Steadily depressin’, low down mind-messin’
Workin’ at the carwash blues
This batch o’ the COVID has been nutz and no fun.
We have held it off with all the vaccines but it finally got us.
Came down with over a week ago.
Since then there have been some bad days and there have been some worse days.
There have not been any good days.
I did have some hours where I felt some pep, some get up and get go in the past 10 days, but it didn’t last.
Just sick and tired of been sick and tired.
Or as the man sang:
Steadily depressin’,
low down mind-messin’
Living with the COVID blues …
No Haiku For You
