Two Can Play That Game

Go on, devise your schemes, it won't work on me, brother. I'm wise to it, it's comically predictable. Go ahead and play your ace, so I can trump it. Don't take me for a fool; don't even try it. I'm not your dancing howdy-doody No string is attached behind my back. I have very little patience for childish games, so, please choose your next victim. You play the Rumba, I'll play the Samba We could go back and forth all day! Listen, my point is quite simple Do not pull a wool over my eyes Do not take me for a fool, and Do not play childish games with me... because two can play that game! Submitted for...
