” Up the Creek “

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Up the creek
give someone the creeps
not all it’s cracked up to be
till the cows come home
there’s many a slip ‘twixt cup and lip
cutting (someone) to the quick
not firing on all cylinders
a damp squid count one’s chickens
before they hatch get cracking
in dribs and drabs
suit (someone) down to the ground
long and drawn out
a dressing-down down in the mouth
prick up one’s ears
walls have ears turn a deaf ear ...
