Stretched Like Old Rubber Bands

Faded from the sun

Slight cracks along the edges

Just one more tug

and 

there is a soft snap

as the rubber breaks.

Something that 

should be unbreakable

Snaps with 

too much strain.

Take The Bull (Final Version)

Take the Bull

 Should have stayed in the ballpark-

 You tried to kill two birds with one stone. 

Opened mouth and inserted foot. 

Killed a good thing.

 Pony up, and 

Take the Bull by the horns.

 Don't rely on using your trump card- 

because Success is 99% perspiration.
