Best Eat My Hat Poems

CAUTIONARY COUPLETS

I hazard it has many times been said
That we have never lived if we’ve not bled

If you attest a life of no regret

QUIRKS

I once had a friend long time past 
Who was wont to always break his fast
On cornflakes not with honey and milk
But pickled onions, gherkins and their ilk

Now if that’s not a quirk I’ll eat my hat
But when I do I must specify that

They’re fencin’ off the free range,
Sayin’ that’s the way things will be;

Down to Earth
Drawing a blank 
Easy as pie
Eat my hat
Go for broke 
Truth is stranger than...
