The Tit- for-Tatters

Brackety bark
Hark hark hark
Here come the schemers
The tit-for-tatters
You might have burned them
Once or twice or multiple times
You might have been rude
Reactive
Or simply just existed
Fetter not
The schemers will come
The tit-for-tatters
They have a plan
To roast your buttocks
Fetter not fetter not fetter not
Fear not!
Tread as carefully as you want
You shall walk in
You shall walk in
You shall walk in a waltzing elephant
Into their grandiose trap
Set up for tomorrow
Next week
Even years later
The trap shall lay
The trap shall wait
Like a faithful dog
And when you do
When you fall
When you fall
And get roasted
An elephant with roasted bum
A roasted bum elephant
The expression on your face
The expression on your face
Will be the highlight
The highlight of their day
Their week
Heck
When you fall
And get roasted
An elephant with roasted bum
A roasted bum elephant
The expression on your face
The expression on your face
Will be the highlight
The highlight of their life
So fear not
Fetter not fetter not fetter not
Hark hark hark
Brackety bark

Responding to #napowrimo 's prompt 'to write a poem about something you have absolutely no interest in.' I have absolutely no interest in this, I cannot do this, my brain wiring does support this, I am absolutely dumb at this (but at least over the years I have grown some intelligence in recognising this) and I will spend a lifetime in getting away from people who do this.
P.S. If you are someone who does this, please, it's just some poetry month gibberish; please forgive me and please, please, plissss don't keep one in store for me!!! And happy Vishu!!
