The Muse's Convention

There's a place where muses gather each year
They call it the Muse's Convention
To inspire each other with new ideas
That hold the reader's attention

Introduced this year, for the very first time 
Are the muses, Shyness and Joy
Joy says, "Hi I'm happy to meet you"
But Shyness is a little bit coy

Selfishness tries to get his way
But it's making Anger mad
Fear just looks for a place to hide
While Sadness is crying so sad

Confusion got lost in the parking lot
Surprise couldn't believe her eyes
Death just walked around in circles
While screaming, "Everybody dies"

Regret was thinking he should have stayed home
While love was in the corner all night
Fear wore a mask while yelling, "Boo"
To fill all the muses with fright

The awards were finally given out
That will make all their poets proud
But the place they were at, made them all leave
For the muses were just too loud
