We all know what it means to miss the boat,

to find ourselves a fish out of water.

So over our heads, we have to sink or swim.

If we can’t reverse the tide the only way out

is to bite the bullet and swim against it.

Break a leg, they say so I try to get my act together,

to find a way to hang in there. No use getting bent

out of shape and making things worse. It could

get out of hand if all hells breaks loose.

Let’s go back to the drawing board.

It isn’t rocket science when we wrap our heads

around how to bite the bullet and get the train

back on track so we don’t bark up the wrong tree.

If we miss the boat, we’ll find ourselves in a real

pickle. I swear, that will be the last straw.

What can we do but live and learn? Just

remember to look before you leap. You

know you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Don’t go throwing caution to the wind. Get

over it and remember, no pain, no gain.

There is no best of both worlds, unless your

guess is better than mine. No crying over spilt

milk when you bite off more than you can chew.

Cutting corners is no way to navigate a perfect storm

even when getting something out of your system.

I’ll cut you some slack if you get your act together and

stop adding insult to injury. Change your attitude.

Don’t you have bigger fish to fry? Every cloud

has a silver lining. It’s a blessing in disguise.

Good things come to those who wait.

Actions speak louder than words. Do you get the

picture? That picture is worth a thousand words.

We can all live and learn at least once in a blue moon.

After all, time flies when we’re having fun.

Let’s say that again.
