Monopoly

No, Monopoly isn't too speedy And the deals you make often are seedy. Common sense then, forbids Me to teach to my kids, But I did, and it made their dad greedy. Now, my daughters are sweet little dears, They're eleven and nine (in earth years). So we sat down on stools And I taught them the rules, An hour later, someone was in tears. I was mean and I pushed and I bossed, Played to win, didn't care what it cost. But my kids are too smart. Despite daddy's black heart, The next thing I new, I had lost. So a word to the wise from a guy Who's afternoon plans went awry: If you can't stand to lose To your kids, then don't chose Monopoly, they'll see you cry!
