Ours

Practice makes perfect

That's good to know

Nobody's perfect

What does that go to show

Never say never

What's that you say?

I did didn't I?

No worries

Everything is A okay

If I've told you once I've told you twice

Third time is a charm

Learn to live, live and learn

Don't make me twist your arm

One day at a time

Everything will be okay

Don't worry be happy

Life is short, live for today

Blah Blah Blah

In one ear and out the other

Here today, gone tommorow

If it's not one thing it's another

All is fair in love and war

What goes around comes around

We get what we give

Oh look what I just found

A penny for your thoughts

No, just save it for a rainy day

A penny saved is a penny...

well you know what they say

It could be worse

Its not half bad at all

The grass is always greener

I have heard it all

Im not complaining

In fact I count my lucky stars

You know what I'm saying...

These words aren't mine, they're ours

Keely....

Time and again I have been saying that you play with words & play so well.
All the phrases, sentences we might have heard & said many times but you have placed them in right order in telling what you wanted to.

The closure is utterly beautiful "You know what I'm saying...
These words aren't mine, they're ours".

The words are 'ours' and the phrases are 'ours' as well! We are free to interpret or to use any of them to fit our particular mood at any given moment, 24/7! Are we not lucky to have such a wide variety of choices at our fingertips? Personally, I try to face every moment of every day as passively as I can, giving whom ever I come in contact with the opportunity to set the mood of our confrontation. This pause also give me the chance to opt out of any obligatory conversation before it might start. This has always worked for me and kept my stress level low.

Old sayings, are to me, like little stories. And you've managed here to weave an awful lot of these little
"Stories" into a little conglomeration of sorts, that flows together very neatly. I really enjoyed it. Thanks.

[TL Boehm]

love the way you strung all those little sayings into a wonderful poem and then topped it off with love...

[Ency Bearis]

A brilliant poem, with powerful message.

[gombeggar]

nice rhythm to this...think it would read well at the mic

[Dana Alsamsam]

it was very cool how you were able to pour one saying into the next with great transitions, it almost seemed like a deliberate rambling. i also like how you added in things like "blah blah blah" and "heard it all before" so we get your feeling on all of these sayings. good work!

Interesting write using colloquialisms and cliche'd terms to express how hearing them often can be irritating but inevitably they apply to 'us' all, and therein lies the wisdom. "We're all in the same boat, like two peas in a pod, cut from the same cloth...;)

what to say when you have no idea what to say... LOL well done.
