IDIOMS (Poem)
IDIOMS
The milk has spilled
And I will
Cry
Over it
Why?
Because the cats and dogs
Have come to rain
Not to steal thunder but
To come out of the bag
And to bark
Up the incorrect tree
A tree
Not a bush to beat
Around a bridge
To cross as you come to it
By the fence you sit on
Watching the moon which is
blue
Near the cloud with lining of
silver
Not copper like the penny
I gave you for your thoughts
Which you preferred I paid
An arm and a leg
But I needed my leg
To tango with you
Because it takes two
To see eye to eye
So to make a long
Story short
Don’t pull wool over people’s
eyes
Because you will receive a
taste
Of your own medicine
And you have heard that
Straight from the horse’s
mouth
And not the grapevine
And that is the whole yard
All nine of it
