Theatrical Muse 272 : Do you have any pets? Would you like some (more)? Why/why not?

[singindemonhq]

They ain’t pets! I’ve sometimes had to explain that to my own kind, but why would humans think they are?

Okay, they meet some of the definitions. Some of them are creatures from an inferior species – or if they ain’t you’d never know it. Some of them can’t communicate with me worth a damn.

I knew one girl who was into keeping pets and she taught me a word - a “rescue” pet. She rescued strays, so she sang. Well, okay, some of them are rescues. I guess you might say some of them are pedigree. Some are real fancy, some come from working lines; some were bred for sale, or they might as well have been. One or two have been real wild.

As for whether I’d want more, that ain’t up to me. If you’ve read this journal much you'll know the deal.

Get the talisman,
Then invoke me in rhyme.
There’ll be dancing and singing
And maybe a real hot time …

I guess you know the rest. Me, I just work with what’s there – another day, another Gig.

Muse, Sweet the Singing Demon.
