Caterwauling With the Best

I caterwauled with the best of them.
I caterwauled with the worst.
I put myself in a side pocket
And I walked beside my purse

My moans had seen some better days
My woes had seen some worse.
The caterwauls you hear today
Are coming from my purse

I love the word caterwauling. It is my new fanciful fun word.
