My Annoying Muse

Puppy nappers are on the rise in Kansas City the TV said.
I moaned. I did not even know the TV set was on!

Roses are being stolen out of the Presidential flower garden.
I shut my eyes tighter, not listening, and not caring.

Organ grinders are reporting an increase in monkey dementia.
What?

I roll over and pull my pillow down over my ears hard.
“Rainbow elves take Brownie Scouts hostage in Omaha.”

Now I know who it is.
Shut up Trixie, I say. I am not in the mood to write poetry. I want to sleep.
