Employment Available: Wanted, MUSE for HIRE

Poem Artwork

 

 

I cannot guarantee the best in pay,

Or any place that is too great to stay,

Or for that matter very good food on the table will I lay,

But in your off time I do guarantee a great place to play…

 

My muse has apparently gone again, on vacation,

He took advantage of the lower prices in the islands,

Most specifically the island of the Haitian nation,

There he seemed to find his personal salvation,

But left me with nothing to write, putting me in much frustration…

 

So please, if your own muse has a relative out of work,

And if he doesn’t mind working for a pain in the butt jerk,

Send him to me for I will give him a great little perk,

But please do it fast before I go completely insane & berserk…

A-muse for you
A-muse for me
As you note
No guarantee

Mine works for beer
Complains all night
Despite the fact
I treat him right

To you I'll send
His strange demure
I'll warn you now
It is obscure

Berserk's Ok
Insane is too
That's how we know
The work's from you

Sounds like the old ads that the Peace Corps used. Lousy pay, lousy conditions and long hours.... Oh, and bad food. Where do I sign? Nicely done, thanks Dick
