Think I’ve got The Blues

I’ve got to write an essay about the blues
I’m was wondering whether it was the right option to choose
It definitely is as I’m learning so much
about a music genre I didn’t care for as such

When you think about it though it’s the foundation of many a good song
you wouldn’t realise it but I bet you sing along
Some of the blues can be raw and very melancholy 
but some of it can make you feel really jolly

I’m studying with the Open University you see
Arts and Humanities which includes music and that’s for me
I have loved music for all of my days
and to include it in my degree makes me happy in so many ways

So I’ve become familiar with the twelve bar sound
and the love for reading music I have again found
Hopefully I’ll get this essay written
and a good mark will make me feel totally smitten
