Play No More

The skies were darkening, The sun had set, The game was on, And I had lost the bet! I hated this game, I never wanted to be IT, How had this happened, I knew I had to flit. SPUD was the game, You may have played it too, Each letter stood alone, Some torture designed for you. Choose ‘S’ and you might have to sing. ‘P’ perhaps to play a part, ‘U’ was always up in the air, And ‘D’ dance from your heart. While they were plotting and planning, I saw my chance, No one expected it, No one gave me a glance. I hotfooted it home, Told mom “it’s time for my bath”, They came looking for me, But I had the last laugh.
