he has an axe to grind,

What's For Dinner, Mom?
I asked my mother,
"What's for dinner today?"
As I tried to keep my face
from turning gray.
"I overheard daddy say
he has an axe to grind,
and at dinner he's giving us
a piece of his mind!"

Thanks, Fibber, we have a lot of weird sayings that kids don't understand. So I just thought I'd try to add a touch of humor with one I remembered.

Hi, David, Thanks for brightening my day with your comments! I'm glad you enjoyed my little poem. Giving others a laugh was my intention.
