"play Fair"

There is no shortcut you see...
We all must play the game to the tee...
No cheat notes or templates to show us the way..
Even a book or a movie won't work today...
The rules are so simple and easy to read...
Be kind to one another and show a good deed..
As the old saying goes , more bee's with honey
then swatting them away..
Same holds true if you want to be heard listen to
what people say..
Don't deal from the bottom or cross in between...
Say what you say and only what you mean...
A little lesson here on human respect...
You get what you give and no more then you expect..
