This is in response to Amy Blount’s blog from yesterday – a challenge to use idioms in a story or a poem. Then I am to challenge some of my friends to do the same. I challenge:

Here’s my poem using as many idioms as I could think of:
MY DOG BOB
You can’t teach your old dog new tricks, that’s what the experts say,
But my old dog is different, he sees things his own way,
He’s stubborn as a mule at times, he never makes his bed,
And when I tell him what to do, he simply shakes his head,
He explains I’ve made my own bed and I should lie in it,
I try to understand his moods, but he just has a fit,
He says I’m barking up the wrong tree, the ball is in my court,
He says that sleeping dogs should lie, he thinks of it as sport,
Curiosity killed the cat, but what about the dog,
He keeps telling me what to do, I’m sort of in a fog,
I wish I could communicate, as perfectly as him,
Instead I’ll cry over spilled milk, and go way out on a limb.

the Mayor came home with us for two days—so for 4 days my brain is now mush—I don’t know if you said idiot or idiom or maybe both 🙂

Take your times and if you don’t want to you don’t have to. I know what it’s like trying to keep up with those tiny tots. She sure is a cutey 😊
