I think it is a mixed metaphor.  By definition in my "Rules for Writers" "the combination of two or more images that don't make sense together".

Well, I just realized there aren't two or more sentences but I do believe it's some sort or metaphor.  I am new here but thought I could try to help, denise

What throws me about it is I can't make sense of it, that's why I thought it might be a mixed metaphor, but that wasn't a choice;)  Good job!  I learn a lot from the questions I miss on tests, the hard way, lol;) denise
