Uninspired
I have scoured my brain for words
I have caught the wind in my bushy hair
I have wet my breeches with the morning dew
I have gazed into the noisy brook till dizzy
I have, all these I have but all to no good use
Poets of old had the muses for inspiration
I have climbed to the heights of the Chariot
And I have found no muses at the top
Cause it is no Parnassus, abode to the spirits
I lack all it takes to pen down an inspired verse
That I is why I have nothing to please you
Save this line with no matter in it for lords
Therefore come help me with matter
For you, yes you will be my muses. Mine
