The Game

I often think of the game of life And just how wicked it all can be We know that it’s often rife with strife And often so much strife to see There are many ways to play the game And many different ways to be a winner I’ve seen a man cheat to obtain fame And one destroyed by this evil sinner By a magic man practicing a flim-flam A trusting man is sure to be taken A credulous soul unaware of the scam Will unknowingly be mistaken So when it comes to making money quick Or getting to the top with ease Don’t rely on the short cut gimmick Be on the up and up. Will you? Please?
