Pell-mell ... Charge

Today's word is "pell-mell" ... PEL-MEL ... In a confused or jumbled mass, crowd, manner, etc.: The crowd rushed pell-mell into the store when the doors opened. In disorderly, headlong haste; in recklessly hurried manner.

Charge
Here we go again,
Rushing pell-mell 
into the holidays.
All the plans are in
motion; where to go,
who to visit, what to eat,
when to leave. Rushing
head-long, arms and legs
flailing, brains failing, emotions
all on the edge of sanity.
(We're celebrating. Something.
Or was it. Someone ... I can't
quite remember ... Oh well.)
Get the kids. Hit the mall.
Buy the groceries. Do what
must be done. Oh yeah,
Merry ...
