me in the piazza

I'm a writer, publishing both as SJ Rozan and, with Carlos Dews, as Sam Cabot. (I'm Sam, he's Cabot.) Here you can find links to my almost-daily blog posts, including the Saturday haiku I've been doing for years. BUT the blog itself has moved to my website. If you go on over there you can subscribe and you'll never miss a post. (Miss a post! A scary thought!) Also, I'll be teaching a writing workshop in Italy this summer -- come join us!

Waitin' Room Blues

I got those waitin' room blues
I get 'em all the time, now
I got those waitin' room blues
I get 'em all the time, now
You think you're leaving when your ticket says
But your ticket ain't worth a dime, now.

Got a blabbermouth beside me
Tellin' me all her news, now
Got a blabbermouth beside me
Tellin' me all about her news, now
If you're funny I don't mind it
If you're nasty, just give me the blues, now.

Check the board,
It keeps sayin' twenty minutes late, now
Check that information board,
It keeps sayin' twenty minutes late, now
Twenty minutes was half an hour ago,
Train ain't even in this state, now.

They got snow all up and down the tracks,
Stations covered up in ice, now
They got snow all up and down the tracks,
Stations all smothered in that ice, now
Can't say this weather ain't beautiful
But it's sure not very nice, now.

S'posed to come home tomorrow,
Chances looking pretty bleak, now
S'posed to come on home tomorrow,
Chances looking downright bleak, now
Someone else better feed that cat
'Cause I'll be back sometime next week, now.
