Idiomatic Metaphorical Day


















early bird, twice shy,

let’s the cat out of the bag

not bothering sleepy dogs.


(they all had their day)


half done, he’d begun.

jumped on the bandwagon

like riding a bicycle. 


sipping a teacup full of storms,

head in cloud nine,

the ball was in his court.


today he’d catch

a wild goose

or a gander just as good.


cutting to the chase,

ice was broken,

took a bite he couldn’t chew.


long story shortened,

golden goose escaped

by skin of his teeth. 


a few eggs broken for an omelette,

frying bigger fish

in the pan not the fire,


he sees clouds on the horizon

hears little boy’s blues

and the fat lady’s song.


Stafford challenge day three.
