'She ain't much of a muse.'
What can I say for you that
Has not already been lied?
Your eyes do not sparkle,
Your smile has long since died.
Your eyebrows are
Painted to be quizzical.
Nice try, but,
I don't think you're listening.
I'll give you a joke, but
You're twice as sarcastic
Your wooden skin covers
A brain made of plastic
I come along to watch and
You come along to see.
Nice try, but
I don't think your eyes make the effort.
I ask you what New Year's means
To you and your future.
You shrug and say,
'I'm sure it will be boring.'
You ain't much of a muse.
