• It’s a mind game, let the marbles roll

    Hoping to win, enough to pay the toll,

    Shadows creep in, give the waiter a tip

    Runaway pen, equip with a whip.

    Lights are flashing, the sirens to low

    Badges clashing, give authority a blow,

    Parade has commenced, so just laugh along

    Now is your chance, resurrect that old song.

    Third wheel success, keep the beers coming here

    Fiancé obsessed, two fists while they cheer,

    Feet tripping up, on that silly old rug

    Your life’s amuck, give nobody a hug.

    Same yellow ride, as the one you came in

    Your trashy hide; please don’t come here again,

    Wallet still there, pay the driver his fee

    Climb up the stairs, before your last meal flees.

    Dropped the keys twice, your irritation grows

    Why won’t it fit? The next one does though,

    Stumble inside, eyes watching the floor

    Locked up with pride, cry to sleep by the door.
