A Fable about Multi-Tasking

There was an ambidextrous fellow who strove sharply right and far-out left while dabbling both with assets management and baton twirling.

Thus, on either side, his brains knew no recess. Whether keeping time, making count, or daring, it was ever evenly creative on the one part and logical on the other.

Matters of serious decision-making, however, was a dimension absent from the fellow's game. So be it this or be it that, he continuously tossed each and every option from one deft grasp to the other.

With charming insouciance, he explained, "Much of such the like would over-extend my skills set!"

Moral: Consider, as well, a spiral, with neither ins nor outs.
