Give me victory or give me death This one thought a muttered breath. Waging the war of words in jest. Letting you win, for this is best. You sit there with those raisey eyes wondering about the next surprise. I slam one at ya, you duck away. Oh my, gonna be loosin’ this day. The ball is served with tender care in hopes that your mitt won’t be there. The slice that spins away from you Oh my, what is a girl gonna do? You lead the way with the beads cause to lose, your mouth feeds. I serve another, a certain miss, what was that, a horrid hiss? The match is now within my grasp is that your lungs flowing in rasp? The old man serves another ace, can you dear girl, maintain his pace. I surely did have some fun with it for now I lounge back as you sit. The priest in overtime as you cry Oh me, oh my, the pie and cream ARE IN YOUR EYE!!!!!!! |

Ya think ya got the stuff to stuff me into the drink with powderpuffs. You girls, you gather in a throng hoping you’re right...and not wrong!! The old man sits here patiently waiting to see what he might see. Those women they gather in mass but all they are is just hot gas!!! Fire when ready Freddie for the ball has been served. I don’t think you’re all ready your vehicle is drunk and just SWERVED.... |

Stick around Nan, maybe they will muster together and attempt a futile attempt to take the old man out... Their lipstick was all proper Their pantyhose was in place. They thought that I would suffer after this, a lopsided race... The referee cried and called out those words for all to hear. A rumble before their stumble as I'm laughin'... sheddin' a tear!! What are those ladies doing??? Sleeping?? |

Hey Barry......VERY, VERY INTERESTING.... HeeHee!!!! We women just might be slow in seeing that it's a game at times, but look out when we do realize it's just a game.....we don't like getting "pie in our eye" !!!!!!!! Isn't that right, ladies???  "Love makes the world go around" |

Oh My...my brain in wonder fights to catch Barry in blunder yet he tosses balls around like snowballs cold and very round I'm lost for finding words at play and smiling at this little frey but snicker this and whining that I just can't figure where I'm at  |

Their nails they were trimmin for the battle of the year. The popcorn was a poppin, the boys bringin' the beer. The girls they were gigglin' thinking old Magnus is lame. But it ain't he that's leavin' for words are his strong game. Now ladies don't ya give in and run away on your toes. Just cinch that girdle tighter and check for runs in your hose. |

I don't think that Barry knows that I really hate to wear hose but when it comes to writing rhymes we women are poets divine! Oh what now is this I see Barry is aiming a snowball at me, but try as though he might he will never win this fight! Watch now as he hides his head in shame.. for he shall NEVER win this game!!

Donna dear, you cannot compare to this old man with sparse hair. The game is played by me all day and I hate to tell ya, NO WAY. You can join the weaker of sex and try to drop me with a hex. I have my armor well in place. So, Donna, dear lady... Why don't you quit... and save face!!! |

You see, I don't need to save face cuz I am still holding an ace, so why is it I must tell you again that you are never gonna win?! |

Donna.... The ace you held was a club. But dear heart, this is spades... I trumped your card, what a flub and you ran away on roller blades.. Ya gotta come with a full deck of cards if ya wanna play my game. Dealin and wheelin a bushel, a peck cards or corn, their all the same. For corn is poppin, eatin it now as I wait for you all to reply. I think I will nap as you bow most humbly to the king, that's I.. |

I sit here on my throne as you do all the dishes. Gnawing off a steak bone, granting all my wishes. A throne is but for one who wins the chosen game. And above it written will be only my name. A king and his court sit here watching you miss. A foul and not a hit as simple as just this. So, come on ladies don't you be shy. Old Mag. awaits you all... He sit and waits, twinkly eyed to see you stumble and fall... 15 Love.... |

And now you see her turning tail says she must go, but will be back. I have to say, that without fail this is the end of her attack. The game was short as predicted cause the girls got a broken nail. Old Mag. now leaves, undefeated, as they go away, tucking tails... 30 love.. |

 (giggles in delight) Oh Barry, I can just imagine you tucking your head in the corner as though you're really scared muttering: "No, Archduke Ferninand is wrong, my claim to the throne is indisputable!" LOL! (smiles) Seriously, this sure is one big fencing match, sweet friend, I just love reading all these responses, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Oh Ethel, I know the cause for the predicament you see. It is simply doggie paws instead of fingertips free. Ya gotta kick outta the house the dog and cat and the kid. And don't be afraid of the mouse that I sent to you instead. The game is young as are you and a rookie team you bring. The wage in up, three for two and we are about ready to sing. A victory song will be heard within the camp of the men. You gals will become the bird on the platter, stuffed and thin. And when the new year does arrive upon the pages of Passions Blue. Old Mag. the only one to survive will toast a brew to all of you!! |

Sir Magnus, I send you fair warning of the PIP Women. You seemed well armed and armored but do not underestimate their ability to wage war. Take it from one who has sat on Passion's insanity thrown and fought word wars in forums of single digits. All the same, enjoy the game. Andrew Scott CK |

Dear man I think that its so sad. Don't you realize that you've been had? The game has not yet been won your kingly throne WILL be undone. Oh no there was no tucking of tails I just can't stand to hear a grown man wail. I've been preparing in case again you strike or add a player by the name of Mike. Oh that's right, you know him as Deer sometimes we women gotta make things clear. So I'll eat my cake, while you eat gruel. Gotcha! Passions Ladies RULE!

Game, set, match...is all it takes? Baby, c'mon, let's eat cake! How simple for a man, dethroned, to act as if he's tired and worn... seems to me your muscle ache is nothing that a nap and break won't cure, and besides, it's all in fun... Game, Set, Match...and it's only round one.  |
