Muse is back after a 5-year hiatus...

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
I guess she'll die.

Isn't that delightfully morbid.

[liaisedalittle]

Sounds serious.

[She does not look as though she thinks it sounds serious.]

[onlythingtofear]

I'm just getting warmed up.

[stillbleeding]

I guess she will. And then what?

[pillars]

And you lived happily ever after.

[onlythingtofear]

Serious is swallowing the horse, of course.

Silly of her.

[liaisedalittle]

I imagine she'd have had to unhinge her jaw.

[onlythingtofear]

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird.
How absurd! To swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.

[stillbleeding]

Mm-hm. I'm fascinated. On the edge of my seat. Go on.

[onlythingtofear]

The horse probably did it for her.

[onlythingtofear]

Cat . . . Imagine that! She swallowed a cat.
Dog . . . What a hog! She swallowed a dog.
Goat . . . She opened her throat and in walked a goat.
Cow . . . I don't know how she swallowed that cow.

There was an old lady, she swallowed a horse.
She died of course!

[onlythingtofear]

Do you believe in happy endings?

[cheese_for_everyone]

[He grinned.]

Just the man I wanted to see.

[pillars]

God, no. Who does?

[asthedrivensnow]

Are we to have a recital?

[onlythingtofear]

Am I?

[cheese_for_everyone]

Certainly, you're part of my domain after all.

[onlythingtofear]

Yes. With tea and cake. And spiders.

[liaisedalittle]

What a good friend.

[onlythingtofear]

And a comfortable one it is, too.

[onlythingtofear]

The misguided and the unfortunate. But they will see truth.

[stillbleeding]

Of course she did. And what an exceptionally stupid old lady she was.

This is very postmodern. Obnoxious, but at least you have style. But the question remains: and then what?

[onlythingtofear]

Only a true friend would rupture your body.

[pillars]

Oooooh, ahhhhh.

[cheese_for_everyone]

I didn't know you found insanity so comfortable. That's good though.
