The Homework Blues

Lowden wrote and composed this song for his guitar lessons recently.

He calls it "The Homework Blues"...



* disclaimer: I think he really does loves his teacher and all that school entails. But it wouldn't be the blues without some conflict, right?!

"The Homework Blues"
My backpack is heavy
It weighs a ton
I watch the 3rd graders
Having so much fun
I think my teacher is selfish and rude
I think his behavior is downright crude
I don't wanna do it
But I gotta get to it
I got the homework blues

It counts for my grade
And it goes without change
I think the whole idea is crazed

We're unfairly treated
And we feel so depleted
I don't understand why homework is needed
I don't wanna do it
But I gotta get to it
I got the homework blues

I'm up at 7 and I'm on my way
I watch my little brother play
Twelve at night is when I just got it done
I barely got to bed at one
I don't wanna do it
But I gotta get to it
I got the homework blues

Man, he looks so grown-up, Meg. Crazy how old your kids are getting. So cute, and talented as well. Lowden is becoming quite the catch!

Wow! I am impressed by his musical talent. My little guy has been asking to take guitar lessons. What a fun instrument!
