Pacing Like A Puma (Cat) ...... [confinement; Back 'Trouble'; Personal] Poem by Bri Edwards
Pacing Like A Puma (Cat) ...... [confinement; Back 'Trouble'; Personal]
Cooped up with bad back,
some freedom I do lack.
Careful is what I must be.
That's what 'she' says; you see?
I'm not allowed from house.
I'm 'kept in cage' like mouse.
She does it for my good.
It won't last long.... Knock wood!
I take care of myself,
can get food off the shelf,
can use bathroom just fine,
can pour myself some wine.
But no more outdoor walks;
at that my wife still balks.
So if I've too long sat,
I pace like Puma cat.
'knock wood' aka knock on wood means 'bring luck' or 'with luck' or something like that. sometimes (at least when i was a boy) people would look for a nearby wood surface, like a wooden tabletop, and knock on it to 'wish for luck'.
this situation don't seem it'll last..at least you're not put out to grass

Nothing like a bad dose of cabin fever. I'd be pacing like a puma cat if I was confined to the house. That's if one could pace...if it were because of a mobility, weather, or sickness situation. Looking out the window is worse.
