My muse hates puns but I love them

 

     My muse and I had an argument today.

     “Shouldn’t you add some scenery here?”  She asked.

     “Will it move the plot forward?  No.  Dialogue will.”

     “But I love scenery.”

     “I’m not dropping in a paragraph of description just to have my readers skim over it.”

     “I wouldn’t skip it,” she replied.

     “Then you are a rare reader indeed.”

     She preened and smiled at the comment.  “Yes, I am unique.”

     “That reminds me of a bad pun.”  I know she hates puns so I was ready.

     “No, don’t tell me.”

     “How do you catch a unique rabbit?”

     “I don’t want to know.”

     “Unique up on it.”  I said and giggled.

     She groaned, “Keep that up and I’m leaving.”

     I went back to typing dialogue.  “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.”

     She didn’t leave.  Instead, she read over my shoulder.  “Hey, that dialogue isn’t bad.”

     “Told you.”
