Cliche Crunch

Avoiding work like the plague is my main aim 
Picking the low hanging fruit sounds very lame 
The least I can do, at the end of the day 
My hope is that this dog will have his payday 

Critics will say it’s a shame and call me slack 
It sounds like the pot calling the kettle black 
You really don’t have to read between the lines 
It’s not hard for you to find my clever rhymes 

I believe laughter is the best medicine 
I open doors to thoughts like a gentleman 
Then I just add some kids from the candy store 
and silver from a lining for a bit more 

I live outside the box and find there laughter 
I live for the happily ever after! 

-Kim Rodrigues inspired me to break some rules..not for contest-

I recall being challenged to do something like this a long time ago and I did a cheesy love sonnet (some people actually thought i was being serious and said they loved it. heehee) Login to Reply Just James Date: 4/3/2017 11:24:00 PM Sounds fun, ill see if I can find it! Thanks for the visit Andrea.

Now I am sitting here trying to think of a cliché to use in my comment and can't, so bravo to you friend. Login to Reply Just James Date: 4/3/2017 11:22:00 PM lol I used them up!

Charlotte Puddifoot Date: 3/30/2017 4:09:00 AM cliches are my idea of hell, and i turn into witchfinder general when searching for 'em! lol Login to Reply Just James Date: 4/3/2017 5:04:00 AM Then I cooked a witches broth then, just some fun!Thanks for the Charlotte.
