” A Curtain Raiser “

A curtain raiser
name the day
have the day
the order of the day
that’ll be the day
the devil to pay
every dog has its day
drop a clanger
stare someone
right in the face
let’s face it
it’s fair game
like a figment
of one’s
imagination
as a figure of eight
that figures
feeling fit as a fiddle
throw a fit
in a flat spin
all from force of habit
at full blast
with a free hand
fruit to bear
all the fun of the fair
well worth the candle ...
