Cantankerous is red like the mercury in thermometers on a really hot day and also like the Memorial Stadium, in Lincoln Nebraska, on a rivalry gameday.
It rushes through my mind like a rushing waterfall such as the Niagra Falls.
It reminds me of the time I hit the ball all the way out to the fence in a baseball game and got out.
It makes me want to turn a pillow inside out by punching it.
