Cup of Joe
Cut to the chase
Between a rock 
And a hard place
Back to square one

Eat my hat
Go for broke 
Truth is stranger than fiction

Happy as a clam
Hard pill to swallow
High and dry
Head over heels
Toe to toe

Blinding light, ten feet high.
As we knelt by his side
tears welled, began to cry.
It has been a long time.
My Dad survived.
Etched forever in mind.

Truth is stranger than Fiction....
