Absent muse

Can't say two things to save my skin
Tonight the white page blanks stare me
My muse has gone awalking 
Without giving me leave of absence
Am I sorry? It may be
But let's dance and have fun
Not to forget being happy
Giving myself license to be free
To the rigours of grammar 
I can't stand and of punctuation
I munificently ignore
That will teach her a lesson
Never ever to leave me 
Alone and unsupervised
In that deep language labyrinth 
With its multifarious hidden traps
Opening chasms under the trodden steps
Of the ignorant poet that I am
Curse you muse, I miss you!
