Broken Telephone

Some days and nights,

I'm in for a good ol' game of

Broken Telephone.

Boredom and rejection

are legitimate excuses to play

Broken Telephone.

My chums, family and I

gather in a circle

to play five rounds of

the classic talking game.

Inside a cozy cafe,

noisy, crowded restaurant

or a famous shopping mall;

it's time to chit-chat!

Outside in the garden,

strolling in the park

or hiding under the trees;

messages need to be delivered secretly.

Endless rounds of

Broken Telephone,

music in the background

and snacks being munched on;

it's a night to mingle.

Smokers are gonna smoke,

fighters are gonna fight,

drinkers are gonna drink,

readers are gonna read,

and texters are gonna text;

it won't stop me from

playing, competing and winning.
