My Meandering Muse (For Geisel)

My Meandering Muse

My muse has gone missing,
my muse may be gone.
What's left may be mindless,
but mindless is fun.

For pondering upon
portentous thoughts of you
make it so much harder
To shimmy, shake and boogaloo.

No weight on the mind
makes  it funner to discover
sunshine-y giggles
that are great to uncover.

Has my muse wandered off
on mere whimsy I wonder?
Puckish reasons like that
seem so silly and flimsy.

But wait! What’s this news?
It’s not missing or done?
Despite what I thought,
My muse hasn't gone.

It’s merely been off
Roaming over creation;
Seems even a muse
can use a vacation.

Welcome back! Come on in!
Hop back into my dome.
And let’s share a chuckle
Now that my muse has come home!
