Beating Around the Bush

George Bush went up top for a walk
You should have heard Donald Trump squawk!
"It MUST be a crime!
The limelight is mine!"
(The peafowl was once a peacock)

Premium Member Catching His Goat

catching his goat


my dear
if you aim on catching his goat
you best stop beating around the bush
you best not play in the pasture as a sheep
just go for his jugular
a garrote would do
words in poems, too, work
a contest placement, too
the worse is silence

You always thought I was beating around the bush You always thought I needed a little push You were easily impressed by my new glass tints But you never understood any of my hints I'm still struggling with word to speak to you about And you're now with another man, already moving out.

Premium Member Beating around the bush 'til I finally get to the point

      flamingoes on one foot balance
        talent like monkeys on bongos

      playin' clarinets are baboons
         raccoons a-hootin’ and a-swayin'

       lions on slide-trombones
          headphones catch them cryin’

       giraffes a-bangin' chimes
          Times of L.A. laid off its staff

Homecoming For Her

oh how do i express my feelings for you, 
when we've had quiet a past.
there are many more in the world,
with its land so great and vast.
but none compare.
its just not fair.
you know what?
screw beating around the bush,
lately, events have been quiet a push.
will you go to homecoming with me.
or is it not meant to be?

Tempting But Beating Around the Bush

when things are tempting
are beating around the bush
should always avoid

when minds may wonder
try to find another way
put minds back on track

bad weather on bay
do pray for a better day
God will know the way

when in God believe
His forgiveness will receive
He is always there

when most unified
effective and efficient
right place at right time

would you rather be
hard to believe or understand 
complete idiot

We are already rich
When we are rich financally
Don't be calling our phone
Don't be knocking on our door
Don't want to hear the would of could of
Where were you when we needed you the most
Just ask yourself that important question
No excuses, No beating around the bush
No time can be made up
The time is now
Nobody's waiting for you to come around
Time and life goes on
The choice is yours
You can choose to win or too loose

What Are Idioms

You might take this with a grain of salt
Knowing I heard it on the grape vine
Why they let the cat out of the bag
I'd say your guess is as good as mine

They say I tend to sit on the fence,
Off my rocker by not a far cry
That I'm not playing with a full deck
They should let those sleeping dogs lie!

Because there's method to my madness,
And I'm to blame if things go south
So I'm not beating around the bush
You heard it straight from the horses mouth!
