When the shoe strings break <br />On both your shoes <br />And you're in a hurry- <br />That's the blues. <br /> <br />When you go to buy a candy bar <br />And you've lost the dime you had- <br />Slipped through a hole in your pocket somewhere- <br />That's the blues, too, and bad! <br /> <br /> <br />Submitted by Denice Jackson<br /><br />Langston Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-blues/
