“At the Crack of Dawn “

At the crack of dawn
get cracking
a hard nut to crack
come in handy
at the drop of a hat
hatches matches
and dispatches
heavy-handed
hopping mad
like needles in a haystack
in never-never land
making a one-night stand
in no-man’s land
looking through
every nook and cranny
gone off the rails
as an old hand
and a one-woman band
gone out of hand
sent packing traveling
well beyond the pale
all in the palm of one’s hand ...
