Bedevil? Not Quite...

I scoot as I scatter and toss all around, I break and I batter so miscues abound, I dim and I damper demeanors so sweet, I hurt and I hamper those fast on their feet, I frisk and I frazzle each honest days' work, I blunt and bedazzle the judge and the clerk, I grin as I garrot as your failure unfolds, I crack like a parrot as frustration explodes. So, have you figured me out- the end sting of my tale? Not bedevil, but D E V I L ! and I'm in the details! ( Ah, yes, it's me! Ha Ha Hee Hee!) ( I love to turn you red..like ME!)

The devil in the details...very clever, dear friend. Your comments always make me smile, Gerard. I kind of like the way you think of me as "Ellie Mae." When I was 19, I won a color TV in a "Daisy Mae" look-alike contest. Guess I should have auditioned for the musical "L'il Abner" when they did it in the community theater. LOL. Congratulations on your success with this clever and funny poem! Love, Carolyn
