People say the pen is mightier than the sword
Except they are missing the point, the manually sharpened point
Now you could include mechanical versions, but that is such a lazy game
Can’t use all geometric aspects of the lead to create crisp lines to gentle shading
It is a uni-tasker, and as such fits more of the pen diatribe
Let’s admit it, all the power you need is located in a good No. 2…
Can’t be playing four-dimensional games when your opponent is playing checkers
How would that be sporting of you, you scoundrel?
Every move should be calculated as if you and your opponent were equal
So you can truly earn that victory and feel good about it
Sorry, did you really believe all that? If you are that foolish, let me challenge you to a game of…
Beating up on the game controller
As he hit all the buttons to try to win the game
Sometimes it worked, but most of the time he lost
However, it didn’t make a difference. He still had fun
Unbeknownst to him, the fix was in for the card game
His opponents had stacked the deck and bought the dealer’s conscience
Once the hand was dealt, he didn’t even look and went all in. They all smiled as they joined him.
He revealed his cards with his right hand and his gun with his left. Both gave him the win
Focusing on the end game
Actively working to achieve one’s goals
That work mitigating the necessity of luck
Embracing you are responsible for your own…
She smelled easy money in the air
Everyone was all beer, pizza, and Buffalo winged out.

Just play a game of cards they said. It will all be fun.
And there I was with a royal flush and a chance to make a couple of quid.
Can’t really lose, so I went all in. When we showed our hands, one guy just lost it
Know what came next? That bloke chased me to the bathroom with an axe screaming “Here’s Johnny!”
Technology always fascinated Eric
It was his jam his friends would say
Not that he would disagree
Kind of fun putting things together
Even making them do something different
Really it was a game to see what he could hack next

Prowling along the street with his boys
Richard felt like they were lions on the hunt
It made him swell with thoughts of importance
Defiant of the rules of the urban jungle
Earning him his own big game hunters

Cupid struck him right upside his head
Reducing him to a puddle at her feet
Unhinged he lobbed a lopsided grin her direction
She didn’t catch it at all as she focused his wingman
Her mind went to mush as Cupid played his sick game
