Stretched Too Thin

It’s great to be busy,
The state I am in,
But sometimes I feel like
I’m stretched way too thin.

The newspaper pile’s
At the tottering stage;
My bookmark’s been stuck
For two weeks on one page.

The email’s unanswered;
The house needs a dusting.
Appointments are canceled
And need readjusting.

There’s shopping to do
And a dress to be bought.
With have-tos and must-dos
I’m frantically fraught.

What happens when things
Get so crazy, perhaps
Is that she who’s stretched thin enough
Suddenly snaps…
