She said "dear, inspire me", when the truth is that I can't. It's not that I don't want to, but all I do is rant. Some ******** here, a comment there, as if I feel I must. I'm throwing around cynicism like its ****** fairy dust. The fact is dear, there's nothing inspiring about me. I'm mediocre when at my best, no reason to ever doubt me. Oh sure I can tell you all about the mysterious Devils Kettle. Or talk at length if you will about the Spinxs favorite riddle. I know the Raven to and fro, but no one wants to hear it. I can tell you if you crock that roast, it'll be better if you sear it. I cannot grow you flowers or always make you laugh. I can't even say you'll be impressed at my version of a staff. I'm sorry dear I truly am, for my game is truly lacking. My talents few and far between, I'm not even good at stacking. I can keep you up for nights on end with what I know of Russia. Or spit for you a thousand tales just one shy of Scheherazade. See what I mean? That last verse barely makes any sense. Kind of like that inferno opera The Pirates of Penzance. I will tell you if I may, it's not entirely my fault you see. For once you take up nihilism you may cease to even be. I will tell you my good friend, that you are indeed my friend. Someone there to read this **** and maybe smile at the end.

Don't leave me alone with my phone anymore.
