Casting Couch

How frantic my antics when I'm in a panic- my thoughts alone could sink the Titanic! Hassled, frazzled- razz-madazzled when I feel so well and Manic! Taken for granted, a Life enchanted, and gifts of Art, by God implanted. Confuses the Muses with makeshift excuses- my trembling Mind, thus reprimanded! For sloth, for laze, for lost ambition; for languid lax, these poor conditions! I feel punctured at this juncture- Overwhelmed by such attrition... Discerning my yearning, but also learning that life affords but one audition.
