I gave a penny for your thoughts,
now the ball is in your court.
I don't need the whole nine yards.
Just make a long story short.
Because actions speak louder than words
and curiosity killed the cat.
So I don't want to count my chickens
before the eggs have hatched.
I can't judge a book by its cover,
and your guess is as good as mine.
But letting the cat of the bag
might be a blessing in disguise.
There's a method to my madness.
just give the benefit of the doubt,
and let me hear the tall tale
straight from the horse's mouth.
