Play At Your Own Risk

at this moment a game is being played two contemplating on moves being made four sitting at a table in a game called spades ten passing a ball up and down a court all different variety's and kinds of sports a man telling his wife why he's coming home late a leader telling the his people why they have to wait the man at the gate telling you it's too late the bureaucrat with power that decides your fate a boy asking a girl out for her very first date a cop looking for criminals using drugs as bait the devil with his lies who you dare to debate and your compromise with God with whom you cannot equate

I especially like the last two lines..We surely don't have much to offer God do we if we are trying to work out a deal from a human perspective..Enjoyed reading this eve..Thanks for stopping by.,,We are suppose to be down in the upper twenties tonight.Had those pewter clouds of and on today with high winds with some rain..Sara

"Ten passing a ball up and down a court" The Sixers have gotten off to a great start in this lockout-abbreviated season despite losing to the Knicks in the Garden last night. Very deep write that covers a lot of the world's activity.
