Summertime Caretaker Blues

Some people say them caretaker blues ain’t all sad
Some people say them caretaker blues ain’t so bad
For her, it’s all string and glue
For him, he has no clue
They both be hopin’ for a Code Blue

She has no place to run and hide
When he’s got daily complaints that chap his hide
For her, it’s all string and glue
For him, he has no clue
They both be hopin’ for a Code Blue

Alive is not livin’ without a brain
No memory, no fun, just a ball and chain
For her, it’s all string and glue
For him, he has no clue
They both be hopin’ for a Code Blue

One must go for one to stay
Or neither one sees the light of day
For her, it’s all string and glue
For him, he has no clue
They both be hopin’ for a Code Blue

Cost of care for us old folks
Is just plain one of life’s dirty jokes
For her, it’s all string and glue
For him, he has no clue
They both be hopin’ for a Code Blue


Them summertime caretaker blues
Are fallin’ hard on those who didn’t get to choose
A righteous path home for him
Per a promised pact by the two
They both be prayin’ for a Code Blue

Note to Self: Psalm 143:1
