Fun

Put your ‘best foot forward,’ But which foot is the best? ‘Put your shoulder to the pump’, What pump? I’ am getting dressed. ‘Shake a leg now, come on.’ Shake my leg how? I find it is fixed on. ‘Wind your neck in.’ Now what is that all about? ‘The washing line is full’ But there is no washing out! Oh life is confusing, I wish I understood All these crazy sayings, but I really am no good, I may not be the brightest light, set upon the tree, My head is made of wood or that’s what they all tell me But when I decide to flash, I make sure it’s really bright Because when I am a flasher, I can give them all a fright.
