Cattywampas

 

Cattywampas? You don’t know what cattywampus means?

 

Cattywampas is:

 

When you discover in your apple only half a worm

When your planet is out of its orbit

When you lose your lover, your job, and your cat

When your DNA is flagged by the FBI

 

Cattywampas is:

 

When a traffic light is forever red

When the car wash strips out the rubber seals

When the doctor says you’re okay…for a man your age

When your neighbor on disability jogs every day

 

Cattywampus is:

 

When you have life sorted, indexed, and filed

And then find yourself staring into those eyes
