May I Tickle Your Fancy

Cards on the table the game of life begins
As quick as it started it has now ended 
Like lighting speed life moves with us in it
The world keeps spinning when we are gone

What happens after life I do not know?
Nor do you it is a guessing game for all
But if you guess wrong you may be ashamed 
If you guess right your back in the game

There is a black book of rules that we must follow
If these rules are broken you may start all over
Some try to cheat by not reading these rules
Ashamed they will become when the earth

Swallows them whole

This is the poem of a true philosopher - I especially like the last two lines - they explain the whole poem. Great poem Bobby. Hugs and blessings
