RHYME AND REASON IX

RHYME TIME III
From BRAIN GAMES FOR WORD NERDS
Francis Heaney

The phrases below are common sayings in which every word has been replaced by a rhyming word. But the words are in alphabetical order - thus mixing up their normal left-to-right order. For example, BOGS KEEPING WET WHY would be LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE (WET KEEPING BOGS WHY). Once you find the first words, which may or may not be the first words of the mixed-up phrase, it's much easier - even though the remaining words may still be out of order.
