Metaphor Remix

A language with so many sides makes it hard to decide which words I should use. I get so confused! Don’t throw out the baby with spilled milk? Turn a sow’s ear into a purse of silk? That bridge has sailed or burned, I’m told, It seems this dog has grown too old! A house of cards divided can’t win them all? The grass is always greener before the fall? I really should be sawing logs, Instead, I’m kicking sleeping dogs! A bird in the hand gathers no moss? When you come to that bridge, look before you cross? My chickens hatched before I could count them, And there is no brass ring at the rainbow’s end!
