Cliches

I need a cliche like a hole in the head
Hackneyed comments make me wish I was dead 
I hang onto sanity by a mere thread
If I hear one more I’ll go off my head.

It would be better to say nothing at all 
People’s trite comments never fail to appall 
Go on use a cliche if you have the gall
But say one near me and I’ll have your balls.
