Mixing MetaphorsJanet Kuypers04/14/98
a heart is supposed to mean romance
the cupid suggests true love anew
love hits you like a ton of bricks
I keep hearing of all these conflicts
and I’m mixing my metaphors now
throw love in with vodka and lime
an absolutely perfect martini, well
and mixing and drinking and trying
keep in the love but add just a splash of lust
suggests so much more than candy and flowers
to it, when you get all those metaphors
so many different things, well,
well, every ingredient is so necessary
tasting stuff that goes down so easy
in that perfect drink because everything
and everything suddenly means
even if it’s only a cheesey metaphor
