Shaking Like a Leaf

Shaking like a leaf
Won’t make you a chief,
Never takes one to the top,
Never a popular prop; 
Would rather one drop
And one’s mission flop …

Never for centuries A Lever,
Even slightly harms The Liver;
Therefore not a prize from its giver …

So, on no account whatsoever 
Must your decisions waver
Nor at the sight of foes quaver
As neither is a saver
Nor you portray as clever.
