Fair Play

In the game of life, fair play should reign
For cheating and foul play brings only pain
It's not about winning at all cost
But about showing character and not getting lost

Fair play starts with respect and honor
Acknowledging the rules without any dishonor
It's about playing by the book
Not seeking shortcuts that will end in mistook

Winning is important, there's no doubt
But not at the expense of others, so don't shout
For it's not just about you, but everyone
So play fair, and let competition be fun

When you play fair, the victory will be sweet
For there will be no deceit, just healthy competition to meet
With honor and pride, you can stand tall
Knowing you played your best, giving it your all

Thus, let's uphold fair play and sportsmanship
For it's the embodiment of true friendship
Playing by the rules will make us all winners
For fair play is the key to life's grandest dinners.
