Caught between two stools poor grandma's toilet paper

Premium Member Idiom Wb a Tribute

Olde English in the vernacular
to celebrate a dialect
Language really said by men
poetized with words 
used there and then

Premium Member When the princess kissed the frog on the lips

When the princess kissed the frog on the lips, her heart burst in three painful double skips. Then she sank to the floor, dead as a nail in a door. Yep ~ that's how they do fall sometimes ~ these chips.

An Idiom in the Flesh

You’ll never believe this, 
But truth you are owed – 
This morning I noticed
A fork in the road.

Well, technically, just
The top half of a fork,
Yet still a strange sight
On a street in New York.

‘Twas made of white plastic,
Quite easy to break it.
Since I couldn’t use it,
I chose not to take it.

A nestbeschmutzer
Someone who craps where they eat
Who steps in feet first

“Say no” co-worker
To someone who asks you out
Condescendingly

Don't make a mess where
You make love, sleep and undress
You might have success

No nepotism
At the family reunion
Leave that one alone

Don’t act badly here
(Proverbial idiom)
Where you live, work, play

Don’t cause trouble here
A place you frequently go
Don’t crap where you eat

Idiom: No Love Lost

Love poems, how trite they become.
Their hackneyed themes we want to scream.
We purposely shy away from
That genre, teeming so it seems
With grandiloquent, large supplies
Of conjured words with empty rings
Of cheating hearts and love that dies.
Ad nauseam is all it brings.
We wish just once that we could read
Where love’s expressed differently:
Brand new verses that supersede
Love’s banal themes in poetry.
Love-lost poems are sickening
But most of all they are boring.
