No, really. The structure for the twelve-bar blues is so straightforward that it can be easily adapted for literally any situation. Here's how:
1. Write a line describing the situation.
2. Repeat it.
3. Write a rhyming line that completes the thought.
4. Sing the whole thing to these chords: I-I-I-I / IV-IV-I-I / V-IV-I-I.
5. Done!
...So, as an example:

I say, I'm sitting at a laptop, writing posts for my website.
If I get it done, maybe I'll finally get some sleep tonight.
Now, go sing some blues, people!
