Beates Paraphanalia Perspective

The 60's are long gone
    Some people still have ticket stubs
    some just songs 
    in their heads 
    The 60's are long gone 
    Memories of highs and 
    freak - outs persist 
   Think I'll relax 
   as the future plays itself out
   Lost lovers and friends 
   pass into shadow 
   the millenium has come, friends 
   AND WE ARE STLL HERE!

hey, now that is one game I would not mind playing with ya: Checkers. But just like with monopoly, when I see the other person has all the kings and I know I am beat, I just get out of the game!!

Another 60's poems.I can't get enough of them, Matt. as for games, I like ones that do not take forever. With immediate rewarding feeling. I most enjoy word games but fun spontaneous ones, not scrabble and not games where you think too hard, like Chess. I prefer ones like Taboo and Apples to Apples. Have you tried them? Scattergories also, Charades, password, and the card game Spit!
