Backwards Idioms

I'm the one and many,

Nutty with no screws loose,

A couple eggs short of the breakfast and the cooked goose.

I'm cooler than the side of the pillow that you sleep on,

I blend in with the crowd, even when I'm wearing neon,

Beyond excellent,

feeling like a million cents,

Ever since,

I stopped,

Using my uncommon sense.

I'm the cat's woof,

With the bark to match my teeth,

I'm the bee's knees, legs, arms, eyes, feet.

I'll stop when Heaven freezes, or when the lady sings it,

Snug in a rug but not a wall-hugging insect.
