It has been done a time or two under my sun, but what the
heck the cat will let the idioms hit the deck. Feel free to hit the deck to, all you crazies who visit my zoo, meaning the creepy search engine nuts who would
probably fall down and sniff some butts.
You humans and your sayings,
Quite weird with their displayings.
But you can put your heads together.
Do you use glue or wait for cold weather?
Someone's face against it?
I hope it doesn't smell like umm spit.
Take a breath is a duh moment in time.
You need to breathe even to rhyme.
Turn the tables though?
If they are rounded is their any point at your show?
I've gotten wind of much.
Some of it I never want to touch.
These rhymes can go a long way.
You see that every single day.
Bear in mind is quite dumb.
Why would you want a bear in your mind when you can hum?
I can see keeping a person in the dark.
After all you don't want to listen to them bark.
But don't ever touch bottom.
Even if they look good in autumn.
Lay that up for a rainy day.
Is almost as dumb as raining cats and dogs that you humans
say.
I mean have you ever really seen it rain a cat or dog?
Fish I hear it has done but never even a hog.
Don't worry there's still plenty more to my bull session
today.
Just sit right there and don't go away
For I always burn the candle on both ends.
I never carry a torch for anyone wearing Depends.
I don't cast sheep's eyes at anyone either at my hall.
And don't try to get a lot of cheek from my wall.
Unless your a chip off the old block.
But if you're chipped the Gawker may gawk.
I will sure give you a bill and coo,
If you give me a bitter pill to swallow at my zoo.
But I won't blow hot and cold,
For that could just cause mold.
I blow my own trumpet though.
As I get a bouquet of orchids at my show.
I would probably eat them.
I hope they don't cause a hairball or flem.
I guess it will soon be peter out.
What is that saying about?
I guess they just pull the wool over their eyes,
Putting on airs and thinking they were wise.
And how do you put one's foot in one's mouth?
Are you pulling my leg and heading south?
Could rack one's brains all day.
If one has any at their bay.
Without any it could be tough to catch one red-handed.
Living within one's means my leave you stranded.
Just don't bite off more than you can chew.
Seeing inside your mouth is just eww.
Thankfully I never get bogged down,
Being so far ahead at my town.
Why would I want to break even?
Maybe I could go out Steven?
What, you wanted to out peter before.
Humans are crazy at their shore.
But that is nothing new under the
sun.
Finally, the cat will never give a clean
slate to anyone.
There you go dVerse now there is no need to curse. For the
cat used every single one and could go on forever under his sun. But then
what idioms what I leave for everyone else at their sea? Wait! I didn't do that
anyway, I guess I'm just greedy. And so the idiots, I mean idioms, have come to
pass. Now I will go out Steven with my little rhyming ass.
Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.
Can I do it ??
ReplyDeleteNo 1 ?
Right on top
DeleteHank, waffles and john are once more a flop
ha ha.. that was fun :P
ReplyDeleteHumans are crazy at their shore
Of Course they are..
you, me, we all are
otherwise how we'll survive Pat's idiom war :)
haha have to be crazy at my place
DeleteJust let go and embrace
I'm sure 'raining cats and dogs' is not a very popular saying over at your place. :)
ReplyDeleteNo the cat doesn't like that
DeleteBut mutts are fine to go rain at his mat
If one studies dialect of a region
ReplyDeleteThey have sayings by the legion
If you take the literal meaning
Makes no sense to a cat preening
Some familiar, some are not
Cat tells many, he is hot
Yeah literally taking each
Deletecan surely cause one to be out of reach
Or give their brain a breach
Lets hope they don't reach for the bleach
haha i wonder about petering out as well
ReplyDeleteand how did peter get the short end of that stick you know
carry a big one too, but speak soft
keep lofty goals and steer clear of the sholes
I'll carry a big stick
DeleteThat will do the trick
If peter comes out and about
I'll give him a whack and make him shout
Ha, in a dog-eat-dog world, it is never good to cry wolf even if one is at the end of one's rope! And if the cat won't give a clean slate, I will definitely give the cat a cold shoulder! This is definitely quite a bull session, but it left me crying crocodile tears! This is all for the birds!! Smiles.
ReplyDeletehaha heard every one of those before
DeleteNice use of them at my shore
I wonder if one is at the end of their rope
If they have any hope
Of doing the saying, go piss up a rope
That could not make them mope
I actually can blow a trumpet.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it raining frogs before. Cats and dogs, no.
I could blow it I suppose
DeleteBut one would surely curl up their nose
Forgot about frogs
But yep, no cats and dogs
I hope its not raining cats & dogs today
ReplyDeleteor next weekend, or else it will be bummer day ~
Happy day ~
that it will
DeleteTo have mutts landing at ones hill
Wanted to tell you that I love the Wanted Poster ~
DeleteI saw the same in Mary & TrueDessa blogs, so was curious to see mine as well ~ Thanks Pat ~
haha yeah it went to spam
Deleteyou missed my wanted jam
Ah epic idiom galore
ReplyDeleteBut idioms i don't adore
But let me stop beating round Di bush
Pat you are lush
And the cat has gone off the deep end
And needs to go on the mend
Saying humans are crazy at their shore
Better to be crazy than an absolute bore
Crazy is the way to be
DeleteAt each and every sea
But humans are just dense
They remain on the fence haha
...aww, hey you... you literally brought home the bacon after that... ha... bizarre! smiles...
ReplyDeleteI'll eat the bacon too
Deleteat least the cat will at our zoo
"Cast sheep's eyes".... Mmmmm, interesting. And new to me.
ReplyDeleteSome are new some are old
DeleteJoin the idiom fold
Oh, I wish I could think of some off the top of my head but in the United States in the deep south they have some awesome sayings, and with their Southern Drawl,just great. Ok, I looked one up, "It's hotter than a billy goat's ass in a pepper patch." I don't know, there is just something about those deep southern sayings that crack me up :)
ReplyDeleteLucy from Lucy's Reality
LOL they are fun indeed
DeleteTo hear at ones feed
I will keep my ass
Away from pepper patches thanks to your sass
You have us laughing so hard, we're dropping like flies!
ReplyDeleteand to you we'd never turn a blind eye.
Because it's like curiosity killed the cat
and your humor gets down to brass tacks.
Even if we get up on the wrong side of the bed
and feel like we lost our head,
or if our day is going to hell in a hand basket
we know there's a method to your madness.
So while we try to keep body and soul together
if it's not one thing, it's another,
Other's just can't cut the mustard
even if they bend over backward,
You're the apple of our rhyming eye
and we know you're all bark and no bite.
lol....
LOL look at you go
DeleteAdding to the idiom show
I can handle being an apple too
As long as no biting comes due
More like all meow and no bite
Except if a vet is in sight
Then they get bit
With a hiss and spit
a method is sure at play
Even on the most crazy day
Here at my bay
Tomorrow is another day
Could curl your toes with my display
just so you show some toes
DeleteI won't give you woes
although I'm prepared for anything
as you link up at my wing!
ha.
haha even zombies toes
DeleteWon't curl your nose
Gloria wants those
To cause some woes
You can still hum
ReplyDeletebearing in mind
to beat the drum
for your friend
or mom,
storm the weather
charm, meet
with rainy cat and dogs,
washed from the roofs
with the quirky frogs
chiming in...
Beat the drum all day
DeleteHere at my bay
Whistle well i work
Can also be a perk
Never pay much attention to the "turn the tables" phrase
ReplyDeletenot very antagonistic these days.
Yeah pretty hum drum
DeleteUnless you need some rum
No Depends for your friends? lol
ReplyDeleteSee I can rhyme too. :P
haha nope no friends with depends
DeleteCan't set such trends
Good Morning,
ReplyDeleteI knew you would have fun
with all these idioms
so many to put to rhyme
in your crazy kingdom
when I saw idioms the
first one I thought of was
does cat's got your tongue
perhaps, he does as now I'm
a rhyming fool in his pool (lol)
well, at least I'm cool
on a very hot day at my bay..
Have a great day is what I have to say!
Not cool here
DeleteSuana for my little rhyming rear
But oh well
the cat can cause hell
And grab a tongue
A surprise would sure be sprung
It was a hot day here as well
Deletebut, at least it didn't rain
cats & dogs..
Wishing you a great night
stay cool under starlight..
Cool now I suppose
DeleteDogs cause the cat woes
Well, let's keep those dogs away
Deleteas the kitty likes to play
night & day at his bay..
now excuse me as I purr - meow...
A human purring at my sea
DeleteHmm could be scary
I often put my foot in my mouth but not as often as most humans I know!
ReplyDeleteYeah many have it always there
DeleteAt their lair
Ha loved that foot in the mouth (should be easy enough for a cat).
ReplyDeleteThat a cat can do
DeleteWith ease at our zoo
One mans trash is another mans treasure and you have a treasure trove of idioms here.
ReplyDeleteSuch a treasure
DeleteOne can't measure
It seems like it's been ages upon ages since you did this kind of thing Pat so it's great to see it back, love idioms so much, even though you've dissected and destroyed them all in such a powerful fashion haha.
ReplyDeletePut them all
DeleteIn the ground on my wall
Who is Steven?
ReplyDeleteWho is Peter as well
DeleteWhere do they dwell
The cat thinks idioms are tough? How about them English-language-learners; for them it's seriously rough.
ReplyDeleteNice idiorhymes, Pat.
Yeah that would be hard indeed
DeleteTo see them as they read
Totally great
ReplyDeleteas you always rate
except for one idiom
which may be dumb
I CAN put my foot in my mouth
do it all the time...then I head south
jean :)
haha just don't chew
DeleteThat would be rather eww
Did you read about this?
ReplyDeleteMorris the cat for Mayor
http://lightbox.time.com/2013/06/21/pictures-of-the-week-june-14-june-21/?xid=peoplemag#18
haha never saw that
DeleteBut i know Alaska already has a mayor cat
Have a good evening, Pat.
ReplyDeleteThat i will
DeleteAt my hill
That was fun!
ReplyDeleteGlad it was fun
DeleteUnder my sun
The Cat managed to include the lot
ReplyDeleteIdiomatic slant all the way so hot
Makes for good reading
Good for the hearing
Raised higher the finesse one slot
Hank
Raised it higher
DeleteLike kicking a tire
Might hurt your toe
If given a go
Then it would be dire
We love idiom! It makes speech so colorful, even out here in the boonies where we live.
ReplyDeleteOut in the boonies
DeleteDo you know the goonies?
Yes and there's lots of loonies.
DeleteI can send some toonies
DeleteFor the loonies
nice, rhyme
ReplyDeletesmartphone
Glad it is nice
DeleteI'll send some mice
We do have a lot of idioms to confuse the conversation :)
ReplyDelete.......dhole
One by one
DeleteThey can confuse a ton
all idiom-ed out
ReplyDeleteWith my shout
DeleteWhat is that about
Many sayings seem strange to those not in the know
ReplyDeleteThat they do
DeleteStranger still to those in the know at their zoo
Me and my girlfriend love researching origins of sayings
ReplyDeleteThey make us laugh, much like hens a laying
You would not believe where some phrases come from
Most people think they're pulled out of someone's bum
But nope, they all have a cool beginning
The origin of which sometimes leaves your head spinning.
I've come across a few
DeleteAnd agree with the two of you
Strange they can surely be
Where they hang on the origin tree
Well that is a head full....
ReplyDeleteGlad it is
DeleteWith my rhyming biz
Now this is a funny set of youtube videos all about idioms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dARj_vBHEys It makes me laugh every time I see em.
ReplyDeleteCheck em out!
LOL they are sure fun
DeleteWith their idiom run
I've put my foot in my mouth a time or too
ReplyDeleteSure not a good way to make friends at my zoo
What's with having your cake and wanting to eat it too? Why the hell would I want a cake and not be able to eat it? I HATE that one!
haha I wouldn't eat it at all
DeleteBut yeah pretty dumb idiom call
I like "pissed on the chips" - which means having screwed it up.
ReplyDeleteAnd also "What's the story?", "What's the craic?", which just means how are ya and what's going on...ah the Irish!
haha never heard the first and last
DeleteUsing them would be a blast
