Two Words

my muse, irate
can't concentrate
at any rate
she's not been great

I asked her: please
one masterpiece
don't be a tease
you write with ease

but she refused
said she's been used
I'm not amused
but she excused

her lack of will
on my poor skill
but said she will
if I distill

life to two words
put them to chords
I'll get awards
peer among lords

did not decline
I toe the line
my words divine
they're moon and shine
