Willy was just doing his usual tinkering and thinking for an idea of a new chocolate. That is when you finally got the courage to question, "Am I helpful Willy? Why do you want to take me with you? What could I possibly help you with?"

He stares at you for a moment, analyzing your worry and asks, "Give me a color."

Used to his antics you heave a sigh and say, "Yellow"

He regards you warmly and asks then, "Now name me a dream"

You know how peculiar that question sounds every time he asks you, as if he knows that you will answer him regardless, disregarding all logic. So, after contemplating for only a few moments you say, "I want to fly"

He softly smiles at you and turns back to his tinkering. Mixing some of that and adding some of this, a moment later he presents me with a yellow oval chocolate egg. before I can ask, he says, "I give you the Hoverchoc! Eat it and you can fly. See? You're plenty useful to me!"

Marveling at his wonder, I say, "But that's all you Willy. I may say these things, but you are the one who makes the chocolate." I realize I sound almost petulant at this stage but I don't care. I want to be helpful and Willy's insistence is not helping!

He puts the chocolate aside, grabs both of my hands in his and looks me in the eyes. "You give me ideas. Without you I would be stuck. You say you're not helpful but that's not right! you ARE helpful.

Because you are my Muse...."
