Ossa the Meddler

BRAGI, ORPHEUS, 
SARASWATI, KUI
, AND PAN
LOOKED TO UZUME
 TO FILL IN THE SPACES.
HE BECAME FRUSTRATED
 WHEN KUI REFUSED TO
REHERST THE SONG WITH
 THE ORCHESTRA. bOTH
 NEED REHEARSAL TIME,
 BOTH NEED
INSTRUCTION TO PERFORM,
 IT IS MADE GREATER BY
 EXPRESSION SPOKE KUI
 OF THE WORDS
HE WAS TO SING.
PHEME WROTE THIS AND PHEME
SEEMS TO INSPIRE TROUBLE
WHICH WORDS ARE FOR
SOMEONE TO MAKE MENTION
OF ANOTHER
THAT THEY MAY 
SEEM STRANGE FROM
BEING TALKED IN CIRCLES
REGARDLESS MUSES WILL
DEMAND THAT
 BOTH ORCHESTRA
 AND LYRICS
ARE PERFECT,
 WHETHER THE
MENTIONS MAY BE
 DIRECTED AT THE
DESTRUCTION OF ANOTHER
AFTER BEING BEGGED TO SING
KUI BEGAN REHEARSAL
 WITH THE ORCHESTRA
TO THE DELIGHT OF ALL INVOLVED
THE NIGHT OF THE CONCERT 75,000
PEOPLE CAME TO THE PLACE OF MUSES
TO HEAR THE CONCERTED SHOW
BILLED AS 
 "THE THIRD PERSON PRESENT"
AFTER THE TALE OF TANACALE THE
GENTLEMEN WHO'S WIFE
HIDE BENEATH A BED
 TO CATCH HIM
WITH HIS LOVER.
 SHE HIDE THERE
AND WHEN THINGS 
BECAME QUIET
 SHE CRAWLED FROM
 UNDER THE BED
TO STARTLE BOTH OF THEM.
THE SINGERS WERE
 SCARED TO SING
THOSE SONG PHEME HAD 
WRITTEN AS PHEME LIKED
TO OUT PEOPLE IN SONG
DURING THE SHOW 
A SINGER
 BEGAN SINGING A
 SONG BY PHEME
AND A PERSON IN
 THE AUDIENCE
 ROSE TO
 BOO AND CURSE HER
THE SINGER BECAME FRUSTRATED
 AND CURSED PHEME IN FRONT
 OF THE AUDIENCE.
