The ABCs of Atrophy

I see about a thousand bugs,

Running cross the floor.

They’re rippling up the carpet,

Like I’ve never seen before.

And when I try to show the folks,

Especially those who care.

Bugs run across the room again,

And quickly disappear.

I see a carpet rolling,

It’s rolling back and forth.

I can’t believe it’s doing that,

It’s just a piece of cloth.

Oh yeah?

I opted for another room,

My cat agreed with me.

She saw the same things that I saw,

So weird, how could that be?

Though it was not my intention,

I simply forgot to mention.

The carpet threads grew three feet high,

They topped the bed and reached my head.

I think I have the answer,

And so I will explain.

That never really happened,

Was just a figment of my brain.

I thought I was going to die,

But I didn’t.

Fooled ya,

Ha hah.
