From BRAIN GAMES FOR WORD NERDS

The phrases below are common sayings in which every word has been replaced with a rhyming word. But the words are in alphabetical order - thus mixing up their normal left-to-right order. For example, DAUGHTERS LEAP QUILL SPUN would be STILL WATERS RUN DEEP (QUILL DAUGHTERS SPUN LEAP).
