Things People Say

You know what annoys me just about every day?

When people say I can't have my cake and eat it.

If I tell the kid at the counter I'll have a cheeseburger,

He'd expect me to chow down once completed.

I know someone whose favorite team is the Dolphins.

He shouts “fins up!” as a rallying cry,

Which makes no sense. A real Dolphin who assumed that position

Would do so because it had died.

Of the things people say, and the no sense they make,

My most hated is “chewing the fat,”

Which sounds gross enough on its own, but remember,

It means “talking,” on top of that.
