The cat has gone down the idiom road but today we'll take the popular load. I guarantee no one reading this hasn't ever heard/said one. If not then you live under a rock with no sun.
We're going the whole nine yards.
That is what is in the cards.
A taste of your own medicine you'll receive.
Hopefully that doesn't prompt you to leave.
Unless here you wouldn't be caught dead.
That can play tricks with your head.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Actually I may be a smarter feline.
Making it a piece of cake.
No cake you even have to make.
Maybe once in a blue moon.
But then I'm just a loon.
At least my mind isn't a wreck.
Like some not playing with a full deck.
I'm just off my rocker.
Yeah, that's not a shocker.
Should I let sleeping dogs lie?
Pffft I'd rather let the hair fly.
Could kill two birds with one stone.
Or just throw a dog a bone.
Gonna jump on the bandwagon?
I used gonna and turned Suza into a dragon.
Whoops, I let the cat out of the bag.
Isn't that a redundant flying flag?
Hey, every cloud has a silver lining.
So quit your poor pitiful me whining.
Okay, drastic times call for drastic measures.
I now revoke all human pleasures.
That may cost an arm and a leg.
Not sure I can lift a keg.
But I'd sure burn the midnight oil.
Humans would be out to foil.
Of course I could be barking up the wrong tree.
But at least on a tree I don't lift my leg and pee.
That ball is in your court.
At the drop of a hat you can file a report.
Actions do speak louder than words.
Like taking a rock and killing those birds.
In the heat of the moment it may seem right.
But not when you hit the sack at night.
A penny for your thoughts? Did you guess lots? Sorry, no real penny for you. Up here the pennies are through. Did I hit the nail on the head with anything I said? Should I not give up my day job? Even if that job is to rob? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Shaking your head at my idiom fit? I could go on all day with my idiom pass. Stopping may be a blessing in disguise from my little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.
