Stolen

Oh lovely metaphors,
What’s the good word?
I can detect whenever someone is using you.
Emotion is the blue hue.
Who let the cat out of the bag?
The cat was in a bag?!
It’s good the cat is out,
He didn’t deserve to be in there.
One chica was in a restaurant the other day.
She overheard that one person got stabbed in the back -
Why didn’t anyone call the police?
Someone else hit the books -
This must be an American phenomenon?
But why did the burly biker dude try to find a cold turkey?
Oh English, you feisty black sheep of the world,
Stop stealing other country’s vocabulary and making everything complicated.
