Public Exam – Idioms poem

 




Public Exam – Idioms 


I have a monkey on my back.

The ship has sailed, and my internal marks were out.

My parents did not want to hear it from the horse’s mouth.

As they felt it would be the devil quoting the Bible.

They spent their whole nine yards getting that esteemed seat.

It cost them an arm and a leg for that extra tuition.

To address the elephant in the room is not a piece of cake.

I am scared stiff as when it rains, it pours.

I am now in a snowball’s chance in hell.

Finally, they felt there was no use in crying over split milk.

And decided to let the sleeping dogs lie and left the room.

It is as right as rain and I believe every dog has its day.

Nevertheless, make things happen to you.   People will try to drain your smile if you are happy and smiling. Nevertheless, be happy and smiling.   People will call you fake if you are friendly with everyone. Nevertheless, be friendly with everyone.   Always face the sun. If you cannot see the sun, let the rain enthrall you. If the rain stops, let the flowers fascinate you. If flowers wither, let the butterflies charm you. If butterflies fly off, enjoy the dew drops on the grass.   Ordeals in life are fertilizers for your roots. You will be strengthened by adversity en route.   Now it may be dark and difficult to solve. But strong roots give confidence to evolve.   Let your eyes always catch things that excite and amaze you.
