But I thought the whole problem facing poetry was that none of those words matter.

That’s exactly why I fit in.”

There’s more than one way to skin a sleeping dog

All good things come to those who watch kettles

Getting caught red handed with a bird in the hand is better than having your hands caught in a bush with angry birds

Shit in one hand and hopefully someone will put a fish in the other

You can drag a dead horse to water but you can’t beat a gift out of his mouth

People who live in glass houses can kill two birds with no stones

Don’t put your eggs in spilled milk

Its labor is undertaken in solitude and its fruits are usually enjoyed in the same manner.
