Rock-Paper-Scissors

ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS
                     •	



on scorching sun with scissors of red ray
kids waded paper boats down winding bay
     huge rock slammed their course
      sails flat, with full force!
so rock/paper/scissors bets winged a tricky play
                               •	
  
although the rushed pace was like wrestling
and left their fists flushed red and sweating,
     best of  four rounds caused seizures
     playmates hid crazed wrist fissures
hours after, hungry tummies stopped pretending





P.D’s Rock/ Paper/ Scissors

fissures and fours do not rhyme..just to let you know, at least up here..no idea if you have an accent redm bay and play work, course and force...wrestling and sweating do not really rhyme well either..sweating rhymes with petting, setting, getting,letting, etc..
