On Lyrics, a Basic Primer
#11
This is full of useful information, and I've read it through a few times, and only take issue with with the 12 bar blues.  This is a basic primer but the 12 bar blues is needlessly confusing.

12 bar refers to the number of bars of music, blues is a variety of common scales, usually with a I, IV, V, chord progression where combined lyrics usually follow the AAB sorta pattern.

As far as lyric theory goes, you can fit truly any amount of wording into any kind of music and  call it a song.  You can fit truly any lyric into 12 bar blues.
