Games

Winners And Losers

Oh, the childish games that we play

For pleasure and survival

Contemplating moves to make

The steps we take are primal

Games that stimulate the mind

Ones that entertain the senses

Just take a look around and find

Greener grass ore picket fences

When playing hard to get

Play nice and welcome tete-a-tete

One must remember etiquette

To keep from feeling ill regret

When playing for keeps

Or just playing dead

Learning new techniques

Will help you get a head

Be prepared for what comes

No matter the cost

Leave a trail of breadcrumbs

Just in case you get lost

Remember whatever you play

And wherever you go

There will soon come a day

When the player gets hosed
