The Absurdity of Idioms

 

You lob a cannonball
        but hurl an insult,

 

Give credit
        but take responsibility,

 

Keep a secret
        but spread rumors,

 

Show appreciation
        but hide your feelings,

 

Jot down a note
        scribble out a memo,

 

Follow your dream
        Lead by example,

 

Go with the flow
        Stop, drop & roll,

 

Chew your food
        Swallow your pride

 

Speak your mind
        Listen & learn,

 

Starve a cold
        Stuff a fever,

Kick around ideas
        Run it up the flagpole,

 

 

Still think it would be fun to have my Brain?
