Wild Words

English can be a wild adventure...

 

I think we need to address 

the elephant in the room

and while we're at it

that 800-pound gorilla, too.

Welcome to the one-trick 

dog-and-pony show

where sitting ducks are daffy 

and angry birds eat crow.

Hello kitty,

it's dog-eat-dog out there.

Eager beavers 

get the lion's share.

The way-too-early bird

opened a can of worms.

But @ little birdie tweeted:

The worm has turned.

Rats race in a wild goose chase.

Bird's-eye view:

monkey see,

monkey do.

The herd makes a beeline

toward the hive mind.

Legions cast their pearls 

before pig-headed swine.

Survive the vulture culture 

and the world is your oyster.

A bull market is a cash cow.

Fat cats milk it for all they're allowed.

Chicken or Egg

Cart and Horse

Ducks in a row --

Which goes first?

Chuck chickened out 

and clammed up.

Billy pigged out

and went belly up.

There's a bee in Bonnie's bonnet.

Ooh...she's mad as a hornet.

Hold your horses!

Don't have a cow.

Patience is a virtue 

and the cat's meow.

The eye of the tiger 

watches like a hawk.

Plenty of fish

swim with sharks.

A silver fox is guarding the hens.

Watchdogs cry wolf in the lion's den.

The GOAT is a sacred cow.

The top dog plays cat and mouse.

Maybe it's cheesy

but Mickey smells a rat.

It could be a weasel 

or a snake in the grass.

Hear the lines roar

and silly bulls speak.

That's just the nature 

of the beast.
