Kit Kelen #1362 - poem at the end of the day


1362
poem at the end of the day

cadence practice


after one thing and another
(neither the be-all nor end-)
having had the run around
through thick thin
can of worms
taken stock
putting all that behind us

green fields projected
(hay having been made)
come up smiling roses
having come to the bridge and crossed
(much water under)
and looking up
just when the cows come home

after all is said and done
saved by the bell
ridden off into
the sunset clause

in the final analysis
down to the wire
done and dusted in fact

in the fine print
(devil in the detail there)
having drawn a line under
by a nose of course
(miss would have been as good as a mile)

let us not say at long last or told you
but under wraps
in the gloaming yet
(powers of darkness approaching)

reaped what
shut up shop
come home to roost

in the bag nonetheless
we swallow a bitter pill
best taken lying down
