Attack of the Killer Cat
Friday I attended a party.
- At a friend’s.
- My first time there.
- A lovely home.
They found me immediately.
- Sweet and innocent looking.
- Beautiful eyes.
- Fluffy fur.
I moaned inside my head.
- Why TWO cats?
- I didn’t bring my allergy pills.
- Perhaps they would stay away?
It was not my lucky night.
- One cat decided to be my new best friend.
- Every time I turned around.
- He was there.
I gave him the cold shoulder.
- It didn’t work.
- He was obsessed.
- Wanted to get close and personal.
I left around 11 PM.
- My head buzzing.
- From cat dander.
- Not cocktails.
By the time I got home, I could barely breathe.
- Downed the drugs.
- Tried to stay calm.
- Was totally frustrated.
I knew better.
- I should have had allergy pills on me.
- This didn’t have to happen.
- And won’t next time I’m there.
Makes me think of chapter leaders…how do you stay prepared to do what you know you should do - when you need to do it?
