Amusing little morning nosegays [by Mitch Sisskind]

'I'd rather get my ass whipped with a plank

'Than go to a dinner party.' For these words

We have Billy Bob Thornton to thank

As for morning's songs we thank the birds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now listen here and you listen good
Don't you dare go around using that 
Expression it's not my first rodeo!
I hate that expression and it's been 
Cropping up like the kudzu plant so
If you want to use an expression 
You'd best say the jury is still out or 
That's a horse of a different color or
Katie bar the door like if the dentist 
Wants to take your teeth out you say
Katie bar the door or say Jesus Christ
Or Christ Jesus which is six of one or
Half a dozen of the other and bull riders
Didn't used to wear football helmets.

I always say: Why don't we kick the can down the road?
