Mixed Metaphor

Hone your skills to the finest point

Because the highest peak has the widest base

Suffer no clowns in your own joint

Because the darkest heart has the brightest face.

Those that know their role

Should slow their roll and mind the pace

If there’s no crime in what you stole

There’s no timing in the race.

Know the presence of a king

But let none stand in your place

Throw your hopes into the ring

And never fear disgrace.

Show your true colors

When mired in dire straights

Flow like soul hot-buttered

and always raise the stakes.

Close no open-hearted

And admire no broken fakes

Finish what you started

and give just what you take.

--Mr S.
