I've been waiting an hour.
Why does she come now?
I would like to oblige her
but time won't allow.
I shout very rudely,
"Why are you so late?
Don't you see what the time is?
My bedtime won't wait".

She looks at me fondly
with the tiniest smirk,
turns back the clock hands, saying
"Get back to work.
In the spring, spring ahead
and fall back in the fall.
The hour that's recovered
is the best hour of all".

Well Joyce, take it when you can, I think mine went on another European vacation and I have no idea where!  I just moderate until she feels like coming home.

Joyce,

Wonderful!  I have been waiting for your muse to return and I am glad she did -- even if she was tardy.  What a wise and funny muse you have (does that make her "a-mus-ing? -- sorry, that was too silly) - I am glad she is in your life.  And I am glad that you are in our lives.

xoxoxo
Alison
