Rock and Roll

a deck of cards 
a roll of dices
monopoly
you go to jail
an other chance
you hopscotch the streets
or should I say the side walk
as for ever you liked the games
of chance and scrabble
your brain to understand
the meaning of all 
the avenue looks pretty good
from the stoops with your crayons
they come in boxes of your choosing 
and you can melt the wax
making sure your carpet won't catch fire
as you wove it with wool from woolworth
and where are those stores
just a story and a web you are godiva
and ride the horse to amazon
the nile you left behind with papyrus
but trying to find where the roll begins 
to wipe your ass is disconcerting
a smile and a grin for you to figure

I like this one....I'm not much one who can judge another. I like it. I like the wording. God Bless you.
