Says funny things, as about a goddess (6)
I believe the answer is:
amuses
'says funny' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'as about a goddess' is the wordplay.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a goddess' becomes 'muse' (the muses in Greek myth).
'as' placed around 'muse' is 'AMUSES'.
'things' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amuses that I've seen before include "Makes (someone) laugh" , "Diverts" , "Entertains" , "provides entertainment" .)
