24 Rules of the Blues

1.	Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."
2.	"I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."
3.	The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes... sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound."
4.	The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch--ain't no way out.
