I’d wager all my life on you But one Uno card is All I could ever find It reads clearly blue Pick 4 and I fall behind You’re holding The last hand In perfect line I think I’m the old maid No matter the card I just can’t understand While I wait to win My hair is turning gray The lace is crawling Up my tired chin I watch my future fade I got advice one day Go fish That’s all they say Many in the pond It’s not the way you Swim I think it’s The happy card you Can drift upon The Joker hiding An ace that can erase This Solitaire soul I run from But tell me why it can win every single race I would play Blackjack in fact But I fear I’d lose so tight You’d never want me back Perhaps a change to gin And rummy with a him And slurred we shall play Strip poker Perhaps with some sin? Hit me again again I need something more For the perfect hand Oh hell It’s a waste staring At my game face My life is Always a royal flush Despite my full house Collected with care My deuces always Come in pairs I don’t dare try my Canasta deck for it is The heart that wins The final kiss So in silence that is Something I will dismiss I’d rather shake The magic ball 8 times Than try to get With a weak stick My one shot at you in corner pocket walls to win that way is nothing short of a trick like a poem without rhymes There’s not a good Game I haven’t met That didn’t gain Ground from where my Enemy line was set I think that I am Doomed to Ouija boards That I can control I’ll push my self Into my own destiny I will make it read What I want to believe I know the letters To spell love and victory Are all I really need "I'm a junkyard full of false starts....Elliot Smith" |

You've certainly provided a new look on how to "play the game".... well done! |

Writing in the game room again? Good read. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |
