...no, that's really all I have to say.
(Well. Except that I am grouchy and lonely and irritable, and that Christmas this year is persisting in being kind of difficult. But we knew this would happen, no?)
*hugs you all and relishes reciprohugs*

denies you all the benefits you seek
from music, then pray tell, why stomp this foot?
What muse commands you "Cast away thy tunes,
and listen only to the throbbing pulse
within your tired ears, the traffic noise
outside your door, the hum and throb of heat,
and sundry clicks and buzzes as you type"?
Has some assignment landed on your desk
from Poem Central? "We need sonnets, stat!
Get fourteen lines down quickly, then hit send!"
Inquiring minds inquire, and want to know:
Which muse shuns music? Which would hurt you so?

distracts me from the beta that requires
completion ere I can retire tonight.
(I will not even talk about my lack
of meals, because I know your much-loved spouse
would blow a gasket if she knew I still
have not partaken of a meal. Don't tell
her, please, okay? I thank you.) As to why
my Muse bemuses me with lack of tunes -
I wish I had an answer. Possibly
it's down to my MA, which traumatized
me so that, even now, a consort full
of viols strikes me vile indeed. And when
one's trying hard to craft a happy end
for Hamlet and Horatio (again,
don't tell - it's Yuletide - ask your spouse), the sad
and necessary fact is, nothing much
in my collection fits the period.
(Don't even venture to suggest that I
wrest those dire Danes from their historic set
and place them somewhere that the Spice Girls or
the Mountain Goats would suit. Don't say it. Thanks.)
In sum: my moccasins must you a mile
bestride some paths before you grok my bile.

But I must say: so far as I can tell
from you, and deuce, and spuffyduds herself,
this Yuletide thingie sucks a donkey dong.
Good luck, and Happy Christmas, and less stress,
I wish you--and a suckless YSS.
