Mojo Black Coffee
On the way home from work
at four in the morning
the last few seconds of a classic blues song
came chugging hrough the speakers
classic rythm classic notes
and a voice ragged by cigarettes and age
then it ended
and the smooth talkin pot smokin DJ anounced
“that was Mojo Black Coffee with…”
and I thought; “damn,
you couldn’t have a more blues sounding name
than Mojo Black Coffee
hell black coffee sounds pretty good right now
I’m a blues player too can’t yah tell
I drink my coffee black
take my whiskey neat
I go to work at night
and sing poems that don’t ryyyyyyyhme!!!
I’m a bluuuuuues player too
singin’ ’bout women I once had!!
I’m a bluuuuuues player honey!
life I dont take for granted!
‘Cus I’ma blues playyyyer too
with black coffe on my mind
dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun du-dun-duuuuuuuuuuuun!

I with you man. Love this piece. Straight from the gut. Onomatopoeia. Don’t play drums but I’ll drop in a bass line. Caaaaauuuse, I’m a bluuuues man too, and I drink my coffee somewhere between coca cola and the Big Muddy, sometimes I have to chew.
Right on man!
cool…make mine a black and blue
I’m a blues lover myself and loved the sound of this!
