What Are Idioms

You might take this with a grain of salt Knowing I heard it on the grape vine Why they let the cat out of the bag I'd say your guess is as good as mine They say I tend to sit on the fence, Off my rocker by not a far cry That I'm not playing with a full deck They should let those sleeping dogs lie! Because there's method to my madness, And I'm to blame if things go south So I'm not beating around the bush You heard it straight from the horses mouth!
