Idiom

What's up is the sky and I'm up for the stars and down for a cave expedition. I'm game for a used copy since time is literally killing me while I got pizza in one hand and an energy drink in the other so the tree that is my life goes chop chop chop. The only chip on my shoulder is a potato chip because I got a dozen for every dime I spent, which is a drop in the bucket of change I'm saving for Coinstar. My son Jack has made many trades, from CDs to movies to videogames to trading cards and he just so happens to be a Pokemon master, thank you very much. Resisting a piece of cake is no piece of cake, even when the recipe --complete with a photogenic picture-- is comprised of over a thousand words. Don't cheat on your diet, the spinach is always watching and that Rolex will feel so tight you'll be praying for thousands of slaps on both wrists. When things get hot you can bang against a clock to see how long you last. Just don't crack 'em up too much, clocks are fragile devices. My motor's a Cobia yours is an Evinrude but otherwise we're in the same boat. Whenever I fail I don't go to the drawing board, I get out my scrap book. I prefer its texture and it is, truly, the first square. When my frustration becomes too much I might have to beat the bush instead, after all it can't be a sightseer forever. Don't throw me a bone, I'm not dog, merely a curious cat still on his seventh life. I'd rather be close than be stuck with a cigar-- smoking's bad and I hate the smells. If I'm left with nothing, I'll cry like a wolf. Wolves are hunters, wolves are survivors.
