I have consulted with co-workers and collaborated on colorful cliches that can create clear concepts and charisma to old crappy customary writing. My Cliche Cache...
Clean crusty chimneys before they clean your clock. (Be prepared)
Calligraphy can charm cocky career criminals. (Even a criminal can be swayed by grace and good handwriting)
Chewy candy creates cavities. (You play, you pay.)
Characters command charisma.
Carry china carefully.
Chart calorie consumption.
Caterwauling... not just cats. (There are other whiners too)
Chastising chickens creates conflicted cluckers.

Wonderful, I try to advoid chaos at all times but don't always succeed.
Have a good day.

Hilarious. Your alliterative cliches are, of course, not cliches at all. They're fresh and very funny.
p.s. You probably know this anyway so apologies for sticking my oar in (that was a cliche, wasn't it!) but we're supposed to take a break for one day over the weekend or we'll run out of April days. Monday is meant to be C day. ;-)
I just read your A, B and C posts. You are just too FUNNY!! I love them. You are really, really cleaver!
I will be following along!

To Rosalind:
No I did not know about the day off on Sunday. Thanks for telling me. That relieves the stress of Monday! Thanks for putting your oar in, as you said.
That's a lot of C's. Cool.
What a clever post. ;)
Thanks Emily. Am hoping to keep it up through Z. We shall "C".
hahaha, I love your C post...crazy cool :)

Chop! Chop! Red pen those babies.
Love it! Very charming and clever! :) Looking forward to reading the rest of your A-Z posts!
Hi Jeanne - thanks for following the blog. OK I am about to follow yours in about 2 seconds. Impressed you have written 'c' already
Holy alliteration Batman...
What great humor! You definitely have a gift for it. I'm saving this page to re-read. And I'm glad I found you through the A to Z. Thanks for leaving a comment on my post so I could come over to meet you--and follow!

My Jeanne, how did you ever think of all those C words. I'm exhausted just reading them,ha ha. Great post.
My C is going up in a few hours.

Clever way to describe it. I love how you thought out every word to use as many beginning with C as possible. Nice job.

THanks guys. I go over and over the text of what I want to say and begin to drop in "C" words when I can. So far it's working but there are 23 letters yet. Aaugh! Am I crazy? Cuckoo?
I'm impressed by all the C words!
Good alliteration, Jeanne.
hahaha! Thanks for the giggle! :o)
Whoa! I "C" your point! Love it!
What a great post! Very creative.
Congrats on cleverly crafting cute posts that keep us coming back.
I love the way you used all the C words. :)
Great Challenge post!
Hah...a crazy consortium of Cs. Wonderful job. Love the cluckers!
Ya know, it hard work to avoid them thar cliches! They seem to creep in and line up innocently with my other words when I'm not paying attention.
LOL! Nice job with "c"! I have a terrible time staying away from cliches. When I'm writing I just go ahead and allow myself to use them so I don't break my flow and then in the editing process I get rid of them.
Hi Jeanne, it's so great to meet you. Happy C Day! I'm following you, too, and look forward to checking out your books. Especially the wet pants one!
~ that rebel, Olivia
I don't know how you do it, but that was wonderful! Very clever and enjoyable!
Love your 'C' post. I'm a follower now. :)
Very cute! A good reminder too, the power of alliteration - it can be great in amongst text if you want a particular line to resinate :)

Cliches that are NOT cliches. Very clever, you evil genius! Especially the chastising chickens creates conflicted cluckers. Wouldn't you be??? I mean they're supposed to cluck loudly and crow. Now they're being yelled at. Of course they're conflicted.
I gotta tell you, I love your posts. (Hubby's still staring at me.)
