Cupid communing with the Sun

  A divine comedy
  
  Good morning, old Sun
  who's never taken a vacation
  just for fun --
  Good morning, how has the day
  treated you thus far?
  Oh, haven't you heard?
  Madame Nimbus
  has just tendered her resignation,
  said she is tired of raging all day
  and weeping until her insides sagged.
  Wrung out like a ratty kerchief,
  her note read,
  and strung up like a well-trussed ham! --
  
  Not again! Not the evil eye!
  Thanks to you, we're still trying
  to spin Icarus's fall
  into something positive for the books.
  So far,
  Pride cometh before the fall
  is the best strapline we've got.
  Have you any ideas?
  Write in!
  The Muses are manning the grapevines.
  I've heard they're fresh out of juices
  so play nice,
  don't blow if they filch
  your idea and pass it off as theirs.

  I like it. I don't get the allusions but it was fun to read, like a ride through some bizarre world.
