The Show Must Go On

I require
Aiming higher.
With jaunty hairdo,
I'm a saucy ne’er do

Well, whatever.
My first endeavor,
Cracking wise,
Being clever.

Thrashing through
Choppy waters.
Super glue
Against the otters.

I somehow manage,
With some baggage.
Here’s the trick.
Horizon pick,

Then stay the course
Till screaming’s hoarse
And limb’s are raging.
This show you're staging,

Three acts to go.
So roshambo.
And hop to it.
Add some fluid.

Focus, focus.
Like Winter’s crocus,
The end is near.
Push through fear

A little more.
You’re at the shore.
Green fields aplenty.
You're on in twenty.
