A useful word is ‘mood'
Like a state of mind.
Benny Goodman had a hit tune
"In The Mood"
...
The sun was lowering in the west
Time had come to take my rest
From the long day's struggles
This time of day I think is best.
...
There was a bad guy named Fango
Who hailed from some place like Durango.
He shot holes in the floor
Next to a whore.
...
There was a youmg lady named Rox
Who couldn't eat bagels and lox.
And eating raw fish
Not her favorite dish
...
Got up this morning to start the day fast
But that good feeling wasn't going to last.
Remembered a date with Doctor Kodama
The Japanese doctor from Yokohama.
...
Little Miss Muff sat in the buff
And threw all her curds away.
I don't want no spidee
To sit down beside me
...
I dated this gal from the city
Who was nice but rather dim-witty.
She told me one day
She would go all the way
...
Is you is or is you ain't?
Tell me ‘cause I feel real faint.
Tell me ‘cause I feel real blue
Have I found a love that's true?
...
Betwixt and between,
Betwixt and between,
It's got me in the middle.
In the middle of what?
...
A rider went by along the track
His horse's hoofs going clickety clack
Reminds me of those days of old
With maidens fair and knights so bold
...
