A little birdy told me
A woman of few words
Is usually the one
Who does the dancing
On someone's grave

The judge threw the book at him,
And awarded his wife with
Everything but the kitchen sink.
That way he could still
Drown his sorrows.

It must have been the dictionary...
See Idiom, Part 1

When it's said,
They threw the book at him
That can be rather misleading.

I mean, was it as harmless
As a flimsy graphic novel?
Or something far more frightening,
Like an unabridged dictionary?

The early bird
catches the worm

As the bookworm
catches the early bird special

Here's more bang for your buck:
Enemies are a dime a dozen,
But a true friend is priceless.

questions
and
puzzles
solved in the glow
from a lone firefly's lantern
only ignite
new torches
to continuously
bug us

In the court of public opinion
There are no mistrials
Carlo C Gomez Nov 2019
Oh, those silly
birds of a feather
who flock together,
until one turns
pretty as a peacock,
then the rest cry fowl.

Here lies the body of Jamie McGraph
Who decided to write his own epitaph
Thinking a selfie might make it better
While taking the photo he took a header
Off the edge of a cliff into oblivion
"Came to a sticky end" the fitting idiom
