Jack of all trades

By daiglepoems

Tackled every nasty habit.
Been doin' it for years
pullin' rabbit after rabbit
out of hats by their ears.

A one man all star cast
whose curtain never falls.
Movin'quick.
Thinkin' fast.
Dodgin' close calls.

I'm always in the groove.
Walkin' tightropes on a ledge.
I have no need to prove
I maintain a razor's edge. 

Keep it polished to perfection.
It's good for splitting hairs.
Like an unfulfilled erection
there's nothing that compares

to a life that's fast and loose
(like Al Capone or Bugsy Seigle).
I ain't got no God damn use
for anything that's not illegal.

If it's not against the law
it's wasted in the doing.
Minor character flaw,
but nonetheless,
I keep accruing

fancy things and pretty faces.
Always wearing tailor mades.
You're either holding all the aces
or the jack of all trades.

    Ha! Awesome! Reminds me of the street busquers who carried their homemade amps in carts and had knives in their pockets...
