FEB 25, classic palindrome: 'mix a maxim'

Today's Offering (Feb 25, 2020)

poetry lyrics:/ Max finds precepts and edicts a bore;/ Likewise (Egad!) an adage -- a chore./ 
'Tho he's unenthused when it's/ The time to pen tenets,/ 
Mix a maxim? He crafts them galore./ "How I wish I'd explored this before." 

Authors' Note: It is unclear why Max finds the maxim more worthy of indulgence than the tenet; the latter, it is noted is a palindrome. And so are Egad! an adage, and Mix a maxim, delightful phrases that may be found in lists of classic palindromes.
