Playing Games

There aren't many games I play For most of them require Some patience and some strategy Or, at the least, desire. I quite enjoy my "Words with Friends" But usually I lose. The very first word that I see Is likely what I'll choose. Of course, I should peruse the board And calculate the score, But doing that would make the game A stultifying bore. My mah jongg buddies hem and haw Before they make their move. I play real fast so rarely win; The pros would disapprove. For competition means that all The effort we extend Should serve to help us play the game And win it in the end. The only real advantage Of my non-competing flair Is that when I see the outcome, If I lose, I hardly care.
