Have you seen my muse?
I think it's gone to China
or maybe it's in England,
or even in the States.
Have you seen my muse?
I hate to be a whiner
but maybe it is visiting with
my poetic mates.
If you find my muse
please tell it that I'll feed it.
Send it back down under
here where it belongs.
If you find my muse
please tell it that I need it.
Without it I can't write any
more poetic songs.
I don't know why it left me;
I treated it quite nicely.
I kept it here beside me,
never left it in the cold.
I don't know why it left me
but I'd like to know precisely
just where my muse has gone to
and return it to my hold.
