Idioms Part 3

8/11/17


During night, morning and afternoon
It'll happen often or once in a blue moon
In and on any side of the lagoon
From January to six months past June
Items kept together or strewn

No reason to exaggerate
We all make mistakes
It can't always turn out great
And be a piece of cake

As Leonard Cohen said "like a bird on the wire"
Sometimes I feel like I'm preaching to the choir
But I'm not a liar with their pants on fire
Just trying to become wiser


Certain things I had to take with a grain of salt
While on the move or at a halt
At times we are the one at fault

I can understand the disgust
And all the fuss
Too many are willing to throw another under the bus
For a few extra bucks

Among and below the stars
Near and far
From anything close to or way beyond Pluto and Mars
The whole nine yards
Whole or in shards
