Muses Are Wasting Their Time

The words are dazzling, razzling, ripping and roaring.
I cannot tear them out of my mind fast enough.
They are chastising, criticizing, laughing and staring.
Some days my muses are rowdy, rough and tough.

Can you give me a second to go to the bathroom? I beg.
When I come back in a few seconds, there is no hope.
Hilarious joke! Says my persnickety muse name of Peg.
Why do we waste time trying to give ideas to this little dope?

Caren, delightful write, oh yes, sometimes my Muse, is literally shouting at me to pay attention and I just want to find the "off" button, Constance

Oh, I'll bet Trixie doesn't like Peg, at all.

Trixie keeps chasing her off but Peg is resolute in her resolve to be of service to me.
