She was 'Coyote Ugly'!
Like she was 'Hit in the Face
with a 'Bag Full of Nickles'
and had 'More Warts
than a Barrel of Pickles'!
She was 'Stubborn as a Mule'
and could 'Eat like a Horse'!
'Fat as a Blimp'
with a 'Double Chin' of course!
But, she was 'Pretty as a Picture'
when I was 'Drunk on my Ass'.
A 'One Night Stand'
'cause a 'True Love Never Lasts'!
It was 'Touch and Go'
but she 'Beat me to the Punch'.
She was as 'Nutty as a Fruitcake'
and her mind was 'Out to Lunch'!
She led me down the 'Primrose Path'
I 'Cursed the Day that I was Born'
because 'Hell Hath No Fury
like a Woman Scorned'!
It's been 'Raining Cats and Dogs'
since we 'Exchanged our Vows';
I'm 'Up the Creek without a Paddle',
keeping my 'Hands Held to the Plow'!
So, I think, I'll just 'Skidattle'--
My 'Burning Bridges' left behind
and put my 'Nose to the Grindstone'--
Escape before 'I lose my Mind'!
A 'Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss'
so, it's best, I 'Hit the Road'.
I put all my 'Eggs in One Basket'.
and left my 'Humble Abode'!

This kept me in stitches, the humor was superb, the rhyme and flow excellent and it all made perfect sense. I'm sure you beat me on the sheer number of cliches. I, as always, am envious of your poetic humor. Good luck in the contest.

LOL. This in and of itself is funny, but made even funnier because I have my profanity filter on so it says,
"drunk on my bunny" ... pretty bunny hilarious. Thank you for your entry. -
hehe.. now that has cheered me up! Too funny indeed! All those cliche's in there
I love "they're a couple of sandwiches short of the picnic"
or "they're not the sharpest knife in the draw" mwahaha
Awesome write.. only you could pull this off and make it work so brilliantly!
