Its April of 2017 and Day 03 of A to Z Challenge. I am doing Idiom a day and 8 line poem for the idiom.
Idiom: Clear as Mud
Meaning: something that is confusing and unclear
Poem:
A kid’s exploration,
Curious surrounding,
Everything around,
Clear as mud.
Then the kid grows,
Mostly,
To become,
Mud.
Note: All the challenge prompts can be found HERE.
Right… we know the most when we are a kid! Good one!

Children are creative and intelligent. As they grow they are only intelligent, all the creativity and curiosity lost in the process.

While we are on puns, hows:
“Then the kid grows,
Mostly,
To become,
a big dud.”
I love the word dud, sounds innocent but in my humble opinion is a mighty underrated insult 😀

Idiom: Cut the mustard
Meaning: To be good enough to do something.
Amidst the asinine rat race
and talks of bard
This all gets in my face
I can’t cut the mustard.
