Unhappy Communal Blues

Hey, what could be more communal than blues? We’ve all got ‘em.
Standard blues form, as I understand it, is like this:

A
B
(repeat)
C
B

The last two lines should be sort of funny or ironic.

Example (pirate blues):
It ain’t easy bein’ a pirate,
Lawdy, no it ain’t no good.
I said it ain’t easy bein’ no pirate,
an’ it also ain’t no good;
I’d sure like to chase some booty
but my leg is made of wood.

So one poster can come up with the first line, A, then another does be and the repeat, then another does C, then another does the second B. Or whatever. Copy and paste just like the other communal poetry forums.

Okay, to start this whole shebang off:

Oh, the gas here cost so damn much,

Oh, the gas here cost so damn much,
I should have gotten a hooker instead of this hummer
