Huh?

I need to ask a question
Does anybody know
Who made up these crazy sayings
Like walking to and fro

They say it sales like hotcakes
Do hotcakes really sell
They call a skunk a polecat
Is that something to do with smell

Stick it where the sun don't shine
What's that supposed to mean
Or a great Idea is always heard
But very seldom seen

A penny saved is a penny earned
Well, how are you gonna eat
Or I've never met a person 
I didn't wanna meet

So, if you know this answer 
Somebody let me know
Until then, I'll be waiting 
Just walking to and fro

Wish I had the answer to your witty questions, Larry. You have quite a collection of "famous lines" here and I got quite a laugh thinking of you scratching your head and "walking to and fro." Fun poem with great rhyme! Love, Carolyn
