By Julian Matthews
Colour inside the lines. Line up. Underline.
Straight line. Come online. Pickup line.
Cross the line. Go offline. Decline.
Keep in line. Don’t park on the yellow line.
Sign on the dotted line. Meet your bottom line.
Bee line. Shots in a line. Line dance.
Deadlines. Front line. Firing line. Hook, line and sinker.
Toe the line. Tread the fine line. Walk the line.
Run lines. Poetic lines. Line breaks.
Remember your lines. Fluffed your lines.
One-liners. Setup and punchline. Deliver your lines.
Fall in line. Crooked lines. Feed them some line.
Line their pockets. Hotline. Throw them a line.
Ass on the line. Hold the line. Blur the line.
Clear the lines. End of the line.
There are no lines…
