players


by genghis gilgamesh



an apple fell from a tree
but not for you or me
a bum asked for a dime
after committing a terrible crime

a clown shed a tear
it did not fall in his beer
a dog ran down the street
and forgot to hit delete

an elephant was sad
his sadness was all he had
a flower grew behind a rock
and gave a spider a terrible shock

a gargoyle smiled politely
he did not take his role lightly
a hyena laughed
because its team was behind at the half

an innocent man was condemned
as he came around the bend
casey jones was at the controls
and asked for mercy on all our souls

a king scowled menacingly
because all he wanted was to be free
a lady waited in the rain
she had a lot to explain

we all have our parts to play
every night and every day
if you forget your lines, it is no big deal
you can always find better ones to steal
