Out of House and Home

by gansach

Son, it's time to bite the bullet,

and I won't beat around the bush!

Your appetite is bottomless~

have you a hollow leg or tush?

It costs me an arm and a leg

to buy enough to keep you fed.

Pizza's not a dime a dozen!

Let's try cutting corners instead.

If you think I'm made of money,

you are barking up the wrong tree!

Don't eat at the drop of a hat!

Don't add add insult to injury!

It is time to hold your horses.

I'll give you a word to the wise;

If you can't afford room and board,

This is a blessing in disguise.

No good crying over spilled milk.

This talk's better late than never.

Hang in there, boy, and you will see

we will get through this together.

Let's go back to the drawing board.

Between us, a plan we will make.

So call it a day, hit the sack.

Son, you'll see it's a piece of cake!
