he who laughs last
laughs worryingly fast
you’re skating on thin ice
climate change – nice
let sleeping dogs lie
unless they’re on Inflacam and basically high
the elephant in the room
when you’ve told them it’s only dogs you groom
catch more flies with honey than vinegar
no wonder the neighbours think you’re sinister
you heard it straight from the horse’s mouth
but didn’t have a clue what he was on about
it’s not rocket science
see your course supervisor for further guidance
you’re the apple of my eye
but I’m a gardener not an ophthalmologist, FYI
take everything with a pinch of salt
high blood pressure comes as default
have a monkey on your back
when you went IN to monkey world with a rucksack
barking up the wrong tree
anger management classes start on Monday
plenty more fish in the sea
not for much longer unfortunately
cold hands
no gloves
I
in the beginning there wasn’t that much
just a whole lotta nothing & nowhere & such
till a big bang sprang right outta the chasm
in an unexpected creation spasm
(though why you’d interrupt infinite snoozing
is actually the thing I find most confusing)
II
after a while humans jumped up
fashioned tools and got quite pumped up
thought themselves the absolute nuts
quickly jogging from caves to huts
cities, castles, countries, kingdoms
hunting deer to bumping incomes
III
invented gods who were smart like them
so armies could rampage and say amen
all the while using the earth like a pit
for mining more stuff and then burying it
till the universe said the experiment’s dead
turned out the lights and went back to bed
