Nevermind bedazzled,
I am frazzled!
It’s got nothing to do with light,
Or vision, or the ability to see,
…. more a case of a flight,
Beneath my feet!
To get things done before one can’t,
… or loses the will to live,
And shant,
… the body unable to give,
More!
When needed, and yet, still,
… l surprise myself,
At my determined will,
… acting like that demented elf,
At Christmas time,
Eager to please the older man in red,
Who himself not willing to fall behind,
… the magical line of cheer and gifted spread,
Shouts out ‘Hurry hurry hurry’,
“We simply cannot be late!”
“These orders needn’t cause worry,
…. “And l can’t afford to miss this one date!”
“The skies are long, and the night is short …
….. I have so much that needs to be travelled,
Over obstacles and what not, and we can’t abort,
“I need to be there fresh-faced and not baffled,
Bright-eyed and bushy-bearded, full of chimney sprint,
…. ready to jump into action and pounce upon the night,
Ever mindful to not even leave behind a single hoofprint,
That could cause some concern and others fright!”
Oh no,
l don’t wish to be like that elf frantically dashing to and fro,
Making sure that everything’s ready to go,
Yet, but, maybe and still,
Whether l like to say it or not – l am,
It’s like running backwards on a treadmill,
…. swimming against the waves of a broken dam!
Of course, l’ll get everything done; l always do,
…. but this is why l feel so frazzled,
Because of the very ‘ness’ of the hoodoo and voodoo,
Of everything thing, which also reminds me,
… of the devilry in that film Bedazzled!
