Bedeviled by the brackets? 

Rely on tools, of the trades (consider yourself an apprentice)

Appearing on the level…(seems so, as in "printable version" that so many have spread out on their desks, office walls)

But the bubble, could spell trouble (especially if they knock out your number one, talk about bursting yours) 

By keeping it smack, dab in the middle (NOW we’re talking level)

Hold it steady… (this is where you might want to put it in the hands of a professional)

Looks as if you've finally made it… to the final floor board (looks like a two by four to me) 

While wins and losses should add up to even,

Vegas odds makers make out even better. (House rules) 

It’s anything but on the level (what professional builders call crooked and gamblers "flat broke")

Besides adding up to a huge waste of time, for your employer: "You're fired" 

We're talking about Marching back, into madness.
