A Readjustment Challenge

Simply switching to a new phase,
Humbert finds himself in a new maze,
His face a great mask of blank gaze,
To all the asked questions Quick Nays. 

Humbert tries The New Untried Ways 
And it is a champ’s blows that daze, 
Humbert badly turning sideways 
Like the punch-drunk listless for days.

Big dreams to again the trail blaze, 
For seen Humbert had better days; 
Still the dithering mind - he strays 
While Pure Standards he hopes to raise…
 
Of the things we should their range know
Is readjustment’s – then, we go!
