Sidney Beck Poet Free verse

Mixed Metaphors

MIXED    METAPHORS

It was my surprise   - decoration of her hallway
But someone told her
Let the cat out of the dog
And the wallpaper and paint mixture was
Dead  as  a dado
But if I find the scoundrel who told
He’ll be in a hearse of a different color



Entered in Debbie Guzzi ‘s Contest    “ Something Different”

Gwendolen Song January 3, 2012 at 1:39 AM Hi Sid. You have a way with metaphors and it really paid off in this write. My fav is the play on words WITH a metaphor!...hearse of a different color. There is so much I can learn from your writing!! Gwendolen
