I have a bowl of cherries on the kitchen counter. As I put them in the bowl, the expression, “Life is just like a bowl of cherries,” came to my mind.
Who thought of that? How can that be?
Rudy Vallee sang “Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries” in 1931
Maybe Mr. Vallee had a cherry tree in his back yard.
Life is not just like a bowl of cherries. Life is a sink full of dirty dishes.
Now I just need to write some lyrics and sing it. ( If you click on the songify link, you can hear the song)

DIRTY DISHES
Life is a sink full of dirty dishes.
Wear your rubber gloves and get all your wishes.
Have the water hot,
dried up eggs have stuck to your pot.
Life is not just like a bowl of cherries,
Life is a sink full of dirty dishes.
Wash, dry, put away, wash, dry, put away.
The task is never ending.
The dirty dishes are here to stay,
lock up the house and move away.
