A Cliched Story (from chat)
Did the cat get your tongue
Or are you having a hissy fit?
Stay out of my hair
but use some elbow grease
to get the door open.
Just don't let it hit you
in the ass on the way out!
Like a cat on a hot tin roof
I was walking on eggshells.
My eyes were peeled,
I was all ears and
could have heard a pin drop.
I was hot as a firecracker,
Striking like lightning,
Larger than life,
Then I came down to earth.
I was down in the dumps,
feeling lower than a snakes belly.
so low I would have to stand
on a nickle to pee on a dime.
they say money talks, but my wallet
has laryngitis.
I'll keep my eye on the ball,
Keep my shoulder to the wheel,
My nose to the grindstone,
and sooner or later
I'll be as fine as frog's hair,
Walking in high cotton
and not have to keep up with the jones.
