A Conversation With the Muse
The Muse
smacked me upside the head
And said,
"Write a poem".
I said,
"You must be joking.
I'm no poet."
She said,
"Did I
ask if you were a poet?
Write
a freakin' poem!"
I said,
"Okay.
About what?"
She said,
"That's
your problem."
I said,
"Okay.
What form?"
She said,
"That's
your problem, too.
Write!"
So I wrote
a poem about the Muse
asking me to write a poem.
And I showed it
to her.
"Cop out!" she
snarled, and
vanished.
The Muse
is
one
mean
bitch!
