Wee Angus finds a spare muse

Wee Angus came up from the lower deck
dragging a great rubber girl size  balloon:
O Angus wherever did you fetch such a thing
and where will I put it?

I’m tired of ye’r moaning and groaning
y ‘here, aboot that wee muse
that has gang fra here—so I’ve fetched ye
anither.  She’s not verra pretty
and been in a cupboard since
the ship first sailed….but dinna tell me
this one will disappear.

But Angus, dear Angus, how will we deal
with a muse so deflated?

Ah, told ye, that is so simple
we tak the poor lassie around to the door
of a real estate agent, he’s hot air galore
as our captain could tell ye
she’s heard a lot more
o that lately.
Besides this one has a whole bag
o words in her write paw
and a strange sort o drum
in her left.  I don’t mind her
sleeping under the bed
as long as she lets you do the spoutin’.

So that is the reason, you’ll find a rubber muse
standing beside the writing machine
in the CPO’s cabin and a small black dog
hunting all over the ship
a stock of RAM.

  1. That Angus is so resourceful!

  2. LOL! This is so wonderful, Fran. Scratch little Angus behind the ears for me and give him a dog-biscuit and say it’s from me.

  3. Don’t know whether an inflatable muse will work out, but Wee Angus is a treasure. Sooo funny!

  4. That Angus must be a wonderful companion. Resourceful, too.

    Vi

  5. W Angus it seems the Muse needs no more help -Angus has answers for everything–love this piece

  6. Angus, oh Angus
    What would we do
    Without you Among us
    We’d have not a clue!

  7. I could see that twinkle in your eye and heard your voice as I read this Fran. What an absolute delight. I can confirm that the hot air of many agents (the ones selling our house excluded) would be enough to keep a hot air balloon in flight for a very long time.

  8. I like the idea of an inflatable muse. What a LOL poem.

  9. Angus Rocks.
