What does the body of evidence tell you about this poem?

Question

Keep your mind on the job

And your eye on the ball

Your nose to the grindstone

And try to walk tall

An eye out for trouble

While you step up the pace

Extract your finger

And keep a straight face.

Applying your mind

To the problem at hand

Will help keep your chin up

You do understand

So gird up your loins

We need all hands on deck

Put a brave face on it

Show your brass neck

Like brothers in arms

In the teeth of a gale

Put your best foot forward

And you cannot fail

Answer 1

There's a reason for slogans. They excite the crowd and the participants, whether in sports or other activities. You did a great job putting them together in rhyming poetry.

Answer 2

To write a poem with cliche's is a challenge, and you have succeeded. I reviewed a cliche' dictionary in which I wrote a short story all in cliche's.

The poem says "you will weather the storm" and "the grass is greener on the other side" of a problem.  You will succeed.

Excellent work.
