I came across this piece online and as with all things literature, I was tickled pink. Enjoy.
Beating around the Bush
Using idioms I find
Could make you really ’blow your mind’
If you have ever ’rocked the boat’
Or got yourself ‘on someone’s goat’
You know that you could always be
‘Sent to distant Coventry’
If you’re ‘down on your knees’
‘Or out like a light’
If you ‘can’t see the wood for the trees’
You’re ‘on the wrong track’
‘Under the weather’
Remember that ‘life is a breeze’
When you’ve got ‘a hot tip’
Or you’re ‘on a good thing’
You’re at a loose end’, but ‘your chips are all down’
Are those ‘chips on your shoulder?’
Or ‘off the old block?’
You’re better off ‘playing the clown’.
With ‘your nose to the grindstone’
‘Your back to the wall’
‘Your head in the clouds’
‘Pulling strings’
“Life goes on’ it’s not over, not over at least
At least ‘til the fat lady sings’
