The Playground of Life

Life is a playground, where folks ‘play’ around, Catch-me-if-you-can, most favoured by man, Some play badminton, with points they’re smitten, Volleyball goes on, hit us with their con, Basketball they play, with round nets waylay, Yet others race on, to the trophy drawn, Happy noises heard, enjoy game preferred, Yes, life’s a playground, with deep lessons found. 06.20.2021

Yes Jo life is a playground with some very dangerous playground equipment and don't forget the bullies. Great to read you this morning. Hoping you are well.
