Idiotic Idioms comical poem 552 by Angela Lansbury

Darling, pull your self together

Because, better late than never

Always get your act together

For me, a friend in all weather


You can't teach an old dog new tricks

But learn something new every day

So, let's make hay while the sun shines

Quick, we have to go a good way


Today I am on tenterhooks

Wondering if I should leapfrog

Over to my umbrellas 'cause 

It's started raining cats and dogs


Should I sit tight, weather the storm?

Stay at home, I won't come to harm

You look as if you've seen a ghost

Maybe I should sound the alarm


Please, dear, don't give me a black look

I mustn't be in your black book

Maybe you should make a clean breast

Of it, and get it off your chest


I'm trying to stay on the ball

But this task drives me up the wall\

I think that you should all play ball

Because pride comes before a fall


We know, at the end of the day

You are as wet as a drowned rat

And, it seems, as blind as a bat

Phone home before you hit the sack


Please sit up, wind up, settle up

I think we should call it a day

I'm sure you can hold up, dear friends

If those pigs are all in your pay 


Ill winds blow no-one any good

It'll be right as rain, touch wood

I enjoy wining and dining

All clouds have a silver lining.

Winter Stops What Went Before - Malay style Pantoum comic poem 346 by Angela Lansbury



Pantoum 

Winter stops what went before

Too much snow, nowhere to go

Stopped Napoleon, stopped the war

Good in the end, now we know


Too much snow, nowhere to go

Sun means long days, people in streets

Good in the end now we know

On the internet we meet


Sun means long days, people in streets

While for summer days we're pining

On the internet we meet

All clouds have a silver lining


While for summer days we're pining

Snow stopped Napoleon stopped war

All clouds have a silver lining

Winter stops what went before.
