Miracle Man
8/9/2023
I once had a friend who saw opportunities dwindling,
he was always, “burning his green wood for kindling.”
My polite way of saying that he wasted his time,
he couldn’t “buy a flea a coat if it just cost a dime.”
He was “dumber than dirt with a head like a log,”
When sober he was “handier than hip pockets on a hog.”
He “thought the sun came up just to hear him crow,”
and I thought this man had “a great face for radio.”
He was “as yellow as mustard but without the bite,”
and “if melted down couldn’t be poured into a fight.”
So he wouldn’t be someone I’d ever take to a battle,
In short, this old friend “was all hat and no cattle.”
“he was so narrow minded
he could look through a keyhole with both eyes.”
