Red Ink

The horrible devil appeared at last, It had threatened me earlier that It would come on that ominous day with its evil and invisible stature, I had cautiously marked the day in the calendar with my red ink. Though I was frightened, Still I was resolute to keep it away, Slowly but surely the day came, Throughout the day I was able to keep the invisible devil at bay With my indomitable spirit and rapt attention, But towards the end I became little absent minded for a moment due to weariness And it was then the obnoxious and shrewd devil stung in my soft bosom and fled, I cried out in extreme pain but in vain, The devil won and I was defeated, Ultimately all my efforts proved futile.
