MONOPOLY BLUES

Woke up this morning      another day dawning

but I know deep down      there's trouble in town

moving real slow               my turn to go

I shuffle those dice            take your advice

I know you monopoly men       know when to say when

i'm in jail next                     totally vexed

can't pass go                     too damn slow

my notes are bleeding       kids need feeding

I pay to land                       it's not what I planned

I'm finally out                      had my shout

get my hat                           get my coat

maybe baby it's cold outside      and i'm on the slide

 

'cause i've got those monopoly blues.

Thanks Tom very pleased you like it. I think it is a hark back to childhood and goes in room 101 along with advanced TV Xmas adverts! Ray

It's a double-six from me Ray! We call it monotony in our house! Great idea though, looking forward to the Cluedo poem next.
