It's All Greek To Me






like the blind leading the blind

i keep beating 'round the bush

down in the dumps

falling through cracks

dragging my feet all the way down

i'm in way over my head

under the weather

wet behind my ears

i rub folks the wrong way

 while banging my head against a brick wall

please take me under your wing

i'm not ready to throw in the towel

or jump the gun

'cause life is just a bowl of cherries

easy-peasy as lemon chiffon pie

 live and let live!!

    What a wonderful bouquet of clichés! You've artfully strung them all together into a coherent tale. Bravo!

      Ron's a master at making things up. You're a master at stringing cliches together to make sense!

    Bev is right! "What a wonderful bouquet of clichés!" I love that you used your cliché choices to create a new and personal story.

    I have frequent flyer miles going that way too. :D I agree with your conclusion to live and let live.

    Dearest Helen,
    That is a heap of wisdom and we all get to deal with them once in a while!
    My only problem is that time is going so crazily fast...
    Hugs,

    You’ve packed so many in, Helen, there were a few I hadn’t seen or heard before! I agree with everyone else, you’ve magically produced a bouquet of clichés!

    I don't know how I missed this delightful array of clichés (and where DO you put the ' when you make cliche' pleural???) I enjoyed every single verse!
