Do Her Right

When Penelope of Ithaca
Hidden in the vastness
Of unstoppable night
Became pregnant with fright
And overwhelming sadness
And gave birth to a mystery
Which stilled even the gods
So often high above woe
Buddy Guy sighed---
Marvelous magic
Long suffering electric guitar
Moaning madness
In the middle of the night
He promised the queen
He would do her right
And said:
"I'll play the blues for you!"
