I'M Back
I'm back without a fanfare without a flash
and you know in your heart by your hearths
that missing me is no laugh so don't pretend
to dis me my sisters and brothers of the Muse
only Christmas or the New Year could assuage
your sighs your annoyance at being bereft of wit
and poesy just like that other Bard by a river as
well so next time you see one of mine you will
either ignore it as no superlative is so apt, or
your judgements as before ere on the side of
so faint a praise as your green eyed monster
cannot help but display but be as it may I will
will not ignore all cliches today I sincerely folks
wish you all happy emulation and if you are
offended please don't blame me its that Muse
Thalia who came to tea and then seduced me.
