Best Bird In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush Poems

To 'ride on somebody's coat tails'
Is the most dangerous thing you can do
'Keep a stiff upper lip' is another cliché
Mine's not stiff, how about you?

'One good turn deserves another'
Turns my stomach if you must ask
'There's no fool like an old fool'
I'm quite offended by the...

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
But man is slaved to fate,
No fun or spontaneity
Unless you speculate

You can’t keep a good man down
The candle’s sturdy wick,
Yet alcohol and ageing
Seems to do the trick.

Let he who is without sin
The first stone seek...

“The Burning Bush” 

At the Burning Bush
the dance cards 
were passed 
from palm to palm 
the flowers plucked
from the wall by green
lounge lizards grinning
“music saved my life”, she said
“poetic”, the Comme des Garçons  
like a boy on roller skates said
circling like a shark with...

Stupid Things People Say.
.
Stupid things people say
I hear them every day
.
Is it the weather or me?
How do you want your tea
In or out
Well it make more sense to have it in a cup 
To me
.
Is that a guitar on your shoulder?
No it’s an ironing board
And...

They say...

Still waters run deep...
Then why are there so many shallow people?

When it rains it pours...
Usually the day after I wash my truck.

Walk softly and carry a big stick...
Or walk hard and carry a small pistol.

You play the cards you're dealt...
And there's a lot of...

Somebody told me that cliches are dead
But what if I run out of things to say
Can I say "to know me is to love me"
Or "tomorrow is just another day"

What about "liars never prosper and cheaters never win"
Would I be accused of reviving the dead
"A...

Why do they say

you can't take money with you when you go?
So what do you do if you go out shopping?

The grass is 'always greener on the other side?
Not if you have a sandy beach on the other side

You can't always get everything you want?
Have...

Jealousy, greed, or something in between.
A belated response: my chance has already been.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush -
you being with him reminds me of the path I should’ve took.

A mocking jeer at my self-indulgent indecision,
clouded sense of self-worth, I...

How to be real with urself?
What is keeping me here?
Love or happiness?
My love for her spans 12 years
Memories are abundant
Good times & bad
We have lost a child to God
Guilt for wanting to leave fills my soul
I feel that her attraction for me has been lost
My...
