New Song

This weekend I finished writing a song that I started months ago. Sometimes I get a verse or two and then they sit for ages. I wrote this on ukulele.

Ant Man's Blues
Please watch your step; it could be me
under your instep
a minor tragedy
On that note, a blue note, the end of me

I'm no one's hero; how could I be?
Heroic stature has been denied to me
On that note, a blue note, I'm history

Everyone knows about the big men
with their influence and cars;
a catchy turn of phrase
and the world lays down and whispers
"take it all"

I'll get no bigger; I'll probably get more small
no call-backs, no encores, I'm infinitesimal
On that note, a blue note, nothing at all

A minor change of formula
a minor change of suit and name
could have made a giant of me
would have screamed to the world
"Look at me!"

So watch your step today, the ant-man cometh any day
and you may not ever know how close your brush with fame
On that note, a blue note, another day
