Nosakhare Sarah: A poem of idioms (30 Days, 30 Voices)

Beauty is only skin deep;

With this,

I cannot disagree

My cat was so pretty,

But then, I ripped off her skin.
 

Beggars have no choice;

He begged for me to stay,

Then, chose someone else.

He was a beggar, he chose. What’s left to say?
 

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush; I found a bird, the other day.

Picked him up,

In my hand, he shall stay.

But oh, I must have held too tight.

For in my hand, dead, he lay

There’s two in the bush, still alive
 

Blood is thicker than water;

Have I blood?

No.

You cut me deep,

And my heart shot you ice.
 

The customer is always right;

At my lemonade stand,

He put one dollar in my hand.

I gave him back fifty cents,

He asked for fifty more … idiot
