The h2g2 Poem: Sometimes You Just Gotta Sing the Blues

Sometimes You Just Gotta Sing the Blues

Frogs were wooing in the woods last night,
Singing their hearts out in the summer trees.
Never underestimate the value of a good, loud croak.
On the tv, we watched the sad story of a New Orleans gigolo.
He wanted to quit turning tricks, but he didn't know another trade,
And the book store wasn't hiring. So he stuck to what he'd learned.
Around three a.m. I woke and thought:
Is that what it's about – advertising sex,
When what you really want is…?
God help us poor creatures,
Singing in the night.
What does a fella have to do to get any attention around here?
