Haywire!

A Verse in 12 lines

You only live once!

is a cliche to inspire!

Seize the day!

sets my heart on fire!

Laughter is the best medicine!

I so admire!

But I gotta confess,

the one that ignites my ire,

 Every cloud has a silver lining!

plain strikes me as haywire!

‘cause to my mind it’s no less dire,

than, That was the last straw!

packaged as a joyful choir.

An optimist believes that every cloud has a silver lining. Haywire and the last straw, made me smile. Cliche, doesn't bother me. There are far worse things to get rattled about. Live and let live eh?

Making you smile made me smile :)
My ultimate pet-peeve cliche is the Supremely Useless "There's no point in worrying." haha

[Chris Shaw]

Yeah, no point in worrying. Easier said than done:)If I could have a penny for every worry I have ever had I would be a very wealthy woman and would probably have far less crow's feet :) (wrinkles if you don't have crow's feet over the pond).

[Dylan Macadham]

OMG! we're up to our eyeballs in crow's feet over here! haha

I think it's possible clouds can have a silver lining. Unless they're shaped like a funnel. Then you've really got to dig for it.

As so often, JB, says I,
you speak from the whirlwind's eye.
