When Percentages come out to play

When percentages come out to play,
And numbers that are more factual indoors stay,
We would be fools not to turn away,
And for an even contest pray,
Or risk becoming the fool that is played this day,
And every other day,
That numbers are kept off the field of play,
By those not adverse to unfair play.

You write well in the Grock form, David. Interesting poetry, my friend. Have a pleasant evening! Bill

Sometimes I am not sure if I should use Grok or Burlesque form. I think I get it right most times Bill.
