Who Does She Think She Is

She thinks she is the cat's whiskers. She sounds a little hoarse, Because she has a frog in her throat. She could not get that monkey off her back, She was making a pig's ear of it, Because she was a silly goose. She wasn't a smart chick. She was an old duck!

Thank you, Connie. It's interesting to read the origins of these sayings. How lovely that you are passing them on to your granddaughter. ( a fun thing to do together.). I hope that you and yours have a Healthy, Happy New year. And that 2022 brings back some Joy to the World. Take care. Shirley

Thank you, P.S. Awtry. I loved your witty comment, are they your initials and name, or are they a play on words, eg Poetry Soup All Try? Take care, Shirley
