Not Enough Time in the Day for Me Not to Use a Cliche
Michael Reed
If my lifespan were limitless
I'd abolish my cliches...
Instead of pretty penny
I'd say
attractive meaningless coinage of zinc and copper.
If my blood flowed forever,
I'd use anti-cliches:
audibly vocalize the generic description of satan
rather than
speak of the devil.
If I had endless time,
I'd offer handy homespun advice to the less experienced:
conduct a careful visual examination of the surrounding area prior to exposing yourself to a potentially hazardous situation involving the abrupt movement of your lower extremities
if I meant
look before you leap.
