Beating around the Bush Poetry

Beating around the Bush


Using idioms I find
Could make you really ’blow your mind’
If you have ever ’rocked the boat’
Or got yourself ‘on someone’s goat’
You know that you could always be
‘Sent to distant Coventry’

If you’re ‘down on your knees’
‘Or out like a light’
If you ‘can’t see the wood for the trees’
You’re ‘on the wrong track’
‘Under the weather’
Remember that ‘life is a breeze’

When you’ve got ‘a hot tip’
Or you’re ‘on a good thing’
You’re at a loose end’, but ‘your chips are all down’
Are those ‘chips on your shoulder?’
Or ‘off the old block?’
You’re better off ‘playing the clown’.

With ‘your nose to the grindstone’
‘Your back to the wall’
‘Your head in the clouds’
‘Pulling strings’
“Life goes on’ it’s not over, not over at least
At least ‘til the fat lady sings’

Answers for a student

1. Save his face To take an action or make a gesture intended to preserve one's reputation or honour. He tried to make reparations to those he had injured, partly to save face.
2. In the same boat to be in the same unpleasant situation as other people She's always complaining that she doesn't have enough money, but we're all in the same boat
3. Keep an eye on To watch over attentively; mind. Keep under careful observation
4. Heart of gold a kind, compassionate, or caring attitude; kindheartedness. Don't let her rough exterior fool you; underneath that grumpy disposition beats a heart of gold.
5. In the pink of health in very good health; in very good condition, physically and emotionally.

"preaching to the choir" meaning

Claire, The choir is in church (usually) because they already are active believers. It doesn't really pay to preach a sermon about the importance of attending church to those who are already there - the message needs to go to those who are not at church. "Preaching to the choir" has come to mean the same as telling people what they already know.
