Mediocre at best
No better than the rest.

Jack of all trades, master of none
Stuck at second, never the one
Neither mastered nor failed a test
Mediocre at best.

Middle class, middle seat
Yellow traffic lights in the middle of the street
Marigold among roses red
Mediocre at best.

Average height, ordinary looks
Hiding behind a shield called books
Iron treasure in a golden chest
Mediocre at best.

Unremarkable journey, no stories to tell
Abandoned by conformists not hailed by rebels
Hard fought battle for a lost conquest
Mediocre at best.
