Games

August 2

I am thankful for games. Included in this would be my favorite game, golf. But I like a lot of diffferent games, especially sports. Not so much computer games and not so much board games (except Monopoly, Chess, Backgammon, Clue, and the ulitmate: Scrabble). But pictured here is a pool table. Playing pool is fun for me, although I'm not very good at it. Come to think of it, I'm not very good at golf either. But that doesn't make them any less fun. Well, a little improvement might make them more fun! Anyway, it's fun to play around at games when the competitive jiuces are not flowing in excess. A little competition is fun but if you overdo it, the fun is gone, unless you are cutthroat and want to stomp everybody you play. I know you've met people like that. I sure have. But gosh. It's supposed to be for fun, right?

This is a photo of the pool table at the Cypress Bend Resort in Many, Louisiana. It is one of the prettiest golf courses you will find and also one of the nicest resorts you will find. Beautiful, elegant, and service oriented. A little game of pool will top off all the fun!

don’t go playing games

when you know that i know

don’t go telling me lies

it’s only a false show

so why must you persist

trying to prove your point

to continue with this charade

will only disappoint.

your game

and my game

they aren’t the same

for when you play

and i play

nearly every day

you play for keeps

i am on the cheap

your play makes me weep

so where’s the fun

it feels like i’ve been shot by a gun

and i’m done.
