More Playing With Blocks

 

How to Avoid Mixing Your Metaphors

 

It’s not rocket surgery.

First, get all your ducks on the same page.

After all, you can’t make an omelette

Without breaking stride.

 

Be sure to watch what you write

With a fine-tuned comb.

Check and recheck until the cows turn blue.

It’s as easy as falling off a piece of cake.

 

Don’t worry about opening up

A whole hill of beans:

You can always burn that bridge when you come to it

If you follow where I’m coming from.

 

Concentrate! Keep your door closed

And your enemies closer.

Finally, don’t take the moral high horse.

If the metaphor fits, walk a mile in it. – Brian Bilston
