Cliches Still Have Value
CLICHES STILL HAVE VALUE
Can't judge a book by its cover ?
These days the law courts are run by midgets and they
Can’t cover a book by its judge.
Head ‘em off at the pass?
Want to exchange counterfeit bills in the toilet -
Pass ‘em off at the head.
Dog is a man’s best friend?
At the dogs’ wedding, the
Best man is a dog’s friend
This beer is awful, baman!
(Barman glances out of window) It looks like rain, sir.
Yeah, but it tastes like what?
Things ain’t what they used to be?
Now, kids gaze all day at screens.
Once they pretended boxes were castles :
They used things to be what ain’t.
