FriendBurst Blog

These were made for the CPC Wonderful Wednesday challenge. Jon and guest host Rebel are looking for writes opposing cliches, preferably with a “some might say…but I say” approach. The first one is all new, playing off a few cliches listed in the blog intro. For the others, I found a couple of old files from blogs I posted on MySpace in 2006-2007 and reworked them to fit the challenge theme.

GRUMPILSTILTSKIN’S CLICHE RETORTS

Some might say
Every cloud has a silver lining.
But I say
Every cloud has a lot of rain in it.
And it’s probably coming my way.
Soon.

Some might say
After the rain comes a rainbow
But I say
So what? I’m colorblind.

Some might say
It’s always darkest before the dawn.
But I say
It’s always darkest before the dawn patrol comes and bombs the living hell out of everything.

Some might say
It has to get worse, before it gets better
But I say
I know.
Thanks for reminding me that this is still better than it will be.
Thanks for giving me something to look forward to!

Some might say
Every rose has its thorn
But I say
Every side has its thorn

Some might say
Midnight is where the day begins
But I say
You just gotta wait about six freaking long hours more in the dark before it starts getting light.

Some might say
Cheer up, it’s not the end of the world.
But I say
Are you sure?

Some might say
This too, shall pass
But I say this too shall pass gas.
Just what I need.
Like my life doesn’t stink enuf already.

Some might say
Life’s not so bad, when you consider the alternative.
But I say
There’s an alternative? Hmmm…
