Games

Games
A fun seeker’s unfolding thriller
Forced to describe it ‘Time killer’ 
But it might well be a healer 
Of wounds to others no feeler…

Some games with the strictest timing, 
Their players chiming clocks minding, 
Others to last while no winner, 
Continuing as day grows thinner … 

Rules of games learnt like the Bible 
Slighting them serious like libel. 
It should a game discontinue 
Against a king with retinue… 

Games promote fun but also sense, 
As partakers avoid nonsense: 
A shout comes last with victory 
Through skill luck, also mystery.
