Metaphor Remix
A language with so many sides
makes it hard to decide
which words I should use.
I get so confused!
Don’t throw out the baby with spilled milk?
Turn a sow’s ear into a purse of silk?
That bridge has sailed or burned, I’m told,
It seems this dog has grown too old!
A house of cards divided can’t win them all?
The grass is always greener before the fall?
I really should be sawing logs,
Instead, I’m kicking sleeping dogs!
A bird in the hand gathers no moss?
When you come to that bridge, look before you cross?
My chickens hatched before I could count them,
And there is no brass ring at the rainbow’s end!
