“A Simple Rhyme of Mine”
Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
...............................................................
I have to endeavor instead of trying
Need to weep a lot as I stop crying
Why should I tell when I want to say
I’d rather beg when I’m forced to pray
If I can lament I need not to mourn
When you want me to disdain I will scorn
I’ll achieve the power never to attain
I can hurt the wound without any pain
I shouldn’t feel annoyed if I'm irritated
Misfortune favours me when I’m ill fated
I am not charged when I'm accused
And I can’t be rejected when I’m refused
I am full of joy but I can’t be cheerful
Being hopelessly terrified I’m not at all fearful
My body starts trembling but I’m not shaking
I pretend to feign without faking
Mending or correcting never means to repair
To show my courage why should I dare?
Perish doesn’t always mean to disappear
Serenity may not always be clear
Don’t want me to foretell when I can predict
I can be habituated without being an addict
To master the art I never have to learn
Without money I have several things to earn
I remember to recall but forget to call to mind
I hate to search when I need to find
I love to ask- Can I inquire?
As I always demand never to require
I can tell lies without being a liar
I can burn myself without any fire
I want to be satisfied but don’t want to be pleased
Catch me if you can when I am seized
I will be so far to isolate the distance
I may appear without any appearance
But whatever I do I will always recall
To wish you all the best and the best of all
Merry Christmas to you; have a Happy New Year!
In peace and harmony we can cheer without fear.

La, methinks you make too free with or have too much fun with my "mother tongue"! What riddle have we here? Wowers, I can only begin to untangle it and then leave off, intrigued. I did not want to utilize a dictionary for this, so shall lazily say it eludes me? Fantastic and delightful, a puzzle for pleasure and good wishes in parting. I love it! La, you are too fun!
