I'll join that "not amused" club with you!  LOL
I've resorted to being a "reader only" now!  hehe  Threw my pen out the window and said to heck with it!  ROFL   You're funny when you're frustrated!

LoveBug~
Glad you liked.

Femme~
Hey !  I'm funny all the time !
(Hmmmm! Does that mean I'm 'frustrated all the time?)  Could be.
Thanks, gal.

Mariee~
Thank you kindly, little one.
*On the essay ..
Now THAT is NOT amusing.
Better get it in gear.

INclan~
Actually, you're right.  My muse
gets upset because I don't type quickly
enough to vent her feelings.
If I had writer's block ... I'm just
sure that's how my little muse would look.

WildChild~
Oh, please ... I beg you
can I send mine over so I can
get some sleep?

How can your muse not be amused?
Could it be that it's been abused,
Exhausted by this great deluge
Of topics that you seem to choose?

Your muse gets sympathy from me,
Poor creature working endlessly
To keep pace with your verse and rhyme
I hope you're paying overtime!

I once worked part-time as a muse
And I will fill in, should you choose
To spur you on and tweak your wit...
Just offer me fringe benefits!!!!

Well, Balladeer
the thing that's clear
is that my bossy little muse
tells me what thoughts to choose.

She prisses through the day
cavorts through the night
always telling me what to say
and then what to write.

She flaunts her little thoughts
right in front of me ..
then squeals with indignation
if one of them gets free.

She's a tyrant, I tell you.
Cracks a mean ole' whip.
Some day I'm gonna give her
a big, fat upper lip.

You've sided with her,
it's plain to see
that I get
NO SYMPATHY !

If you don't retract
the comments you made
I'll send her to Ft. Lauderdale
and at YOUR house she can stay !

When you try to sleep
and sleep won't come
you'll see that
my little muse is quite the agitator
I'll laugh my little heart out
cause to get some sleep
you'll have to EXTERMINATE her!

Well, Margie, there is one thing
I'll tell you, just for starters...
I've never had a problem with
Little amusing cavorters!

The reason she don't like you's not
That she's an agitator...
Her family lives in Gainesville and-
You guessed it! She's a Gator!!!!!!

Balladeer~
LOL ... you take the cake.
Them's fighting words
and you darn well know it !

To insinuate a muse of mine
could be such a traitor ...
is to throw a SEMINOLE spear
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
at the nearest GATOR !

Still laughing !

Denise~
I'm sending her straight to
Balladeer's place !
I wouldn't wish her on a friend !  

Serenity~
LOL !  Thanks for being here.

Sorry I missed you in there, dearie.
I was busy throwing spears at Balladeer !
Thanks, gal.  She's just an ungrateful little muse who is working me to death.
I've always wondered what 'writer's block' was all about ... guess I'll never know !
Love ya' ~*Marge*~

Marge--Please send your muse to California..I'd love her and I would take care of her and not berate her like you do...She could sleep with me each night and wake me with those love poems any time...please!

You are so wonderful...I just love what you do!

Oh Martie~
Be careful what you wish for !

This is not my 'love' poem muse ...
this one is a little vixen that is fixing
to get her suitcase packed.
She flits about snapping her fingers for me to jump on every thought that passes.

Why, some of what she has spawned can't even be published here.  LOL ! I do have an image to maintain !

I have three other muses and she is creating havoc among them.  
I love your poetry too much
to send her your way ...
NOPE .. she's heading to Balladeer's.

Tracie~
Glad you can picture her.
It would appear she is a reflection of me !

Breathe~
Oh, she's a lot of things ....
I'm not sure 'good' is one of them.
As you can see ... she has me up
burning the past-midnight-oil AGAIN !
Is there no satisfying this little imp ?
