Rite a Riff


      

  I chose this particular entry mainly because I had so much fun writing it. The nonsensical logic I think lends itself to the piece because it puts more emphasis on the sayings that I chose to weave together. I hope it is as much fun to read as it was to create.


When writing about keeping your ducks in a row, one must not judge a book by its cover but rather hit the nail on the head while reading between the lines and seeing the big picture in shades of gray. Now, I'm not talking about the ins and outs but the application of the situation that so burdens the smaller man. You can’t be caught counting your chickens before they hatch or carrying all your eggs in one basket. You must tackle the situation head on and with feverish intent so not to fall between the cracks or wander from the path. You must also keep in mind that no two people are the same and what really separates us is the way we perceive a situation and react. Because when Bob’s your uncle, you’re the shining star of intuition and boldness. And when your life is ship shape and the wind is at your back, it’s all down hill from there. When you’re Johnny on the spot and prepared with a witty rebuttal, the world is your oyster as God is your witness, whether you’re telling your colleagues verbatim about an arbitrary topic you read about in Modern Science as though it was a creation of your own cranium. You’re corning the system, sticking it to the man, and screwing the pooch. If you’re lost in a sea of confusion, you only have to ask yourself in a Derek Zoolander voice, “Who am I?”
