My Muse is Gone Today

My muse is gone today

She will not work for me

She left without a note

Without her normal cup of tea

I could not find her in the basement

I could not find her in her tree

I looked everywhere that she would dare

To go if she were free

My muse is lost today

I know not where she went

A travel to the moon perhaps

Or camping in a tent

Maybe she ran across the sea

Maybe she was in an accident

Perhaps she looked in history book

And was trapped in an event

My muse is dead today

When I have so much to do

I have a poem for literature

I have some papers, too

There's a summary for civics

There's a story to review

I think it's hard to be a bard

When my muse I must pursue

My muse is far today

She's wandered out of sight

I cannot do my schoolwork

Even if I stay up all night

It all turns out so stupid

'Cause I just can't get it right

But teacher dear please do not fear

You'll take my late work…right?
