Noble Game

-Noble Game-          
Ah!-i get to play the pig again.                    
This female game where you cannot win.                              
..delicate moment-awkward silence.        
This where she gets to say she is sorry 
- bloody phone rings... 
Cannot nuke it, 
i need the damn thing.                         
My pride gets to drive you to your sister.                            
Coming back I park the car, 
          at the bar...      
Oblivion gets to drive me home.                     
Homesick garden just forget-me-not.            
On my knees, i get to pray please but God forgot-or not..             
Now my baby is my guitar.                          
Wow my lady, play me sad.                             
Tuning up the tension then the E-string snapped!                      
(Is it just me or is'nt there any E)?              
Another no win.           
Another no ball game.                           
Sorry God, sorry Gheet, sorry me, sorry wife.                   
I get to be alive- so I can get to play the pig again

I love this dramatic tale and the imagery it contains. Some of the lines make me feel this could easy translate into song. Very well done, indeed - and many should relate! Do you really play the guitar? Yepper, dynamic and dramatic are both this write ... CayCay

Thanks Cay Cay. Yes I do play quite well. I do portray myself in a negative light here though. I was traumatised and tried to be funny at the same time. It boomeranged.
