Game Is Up Poems | Examples


Premium Member waiter this soup is repeating on me

which is worse to be a fake or fraud or sit by and watch ~ then applaud

in truth makes no difference the game is up ~ next stage a firing squad

plagiarism and AI does not make great soup ~ but a rotten cheap broth

strange thing most of them posting it all ~ say they’re devoted to a god

Wearing Make Up For Medical Checkup

It’s not okay a heavy make-up
Ahead of a medical check-up
And - please believe me-it’s a  up:
If doctor is handsome “a set up!”

It’s a patient’s right: a good make-up
Before a booked medical check-up
But some medic for sweet face “Thumbs up!”
While Mascara could a check-up screw up…

At last, somebody shall be tensed up
The medical check-up time used up!”
We should image what next might crop up:
Perhaps, one’s husband with gun “Hands up!”
Boyfriend “Smart Baby this game is up…”

Smart baby like a bridge to blow up!

The Gambler Playing Cards Hand

This my game is up

The cards are about to fall

Not long now

Until my bluff is called

And everyone will see

Me for who i really am

I'm not even holding a pair 

And worst of all

The stake i am gambling with

Isn't even mine 

Yet i still went ahead and bet it knowing i could never pay it back


Board Bored Games

Having met with an untimely
grimm death

After loosing his property monopoly

In pursuit of trivial gain

Using eloquent intellect scrabble
word's in order to create reasonable doubt

Until all the dominoes have fell 

Knight takes Queen 

The game is up Professor Plum

Do not pass go directly to jail
And serve 21 year's
For killing Lady Solitaire
In the games room
By poisoning her pieces of
cheese, pie, tiles and dominoes

And i think you will find that
is both check and mate

God i love these murder mystery
games

My surname may well in fact be 
Watson but when it comes to 
games call me Sherlock

Something broke me into god damn flim flam
Seen enough to know the game is up, shut up
Drown down to the gravel level bottom shakes 
Silence damaged COVID lungs like old movie remakes

True Story

Today was Doctor's visit
No 3

You see my Mum now struggles walking

Where as 6 month's ago she walked
more than me like she was 23

And 3 visits later seen by 3 different
Doctor's

Where are we at now ?

She resembles her actual age of 70
rather than her old sprightly 23 

She still work's a 5 day week
6am till 4pm Monday to Friday

And yes she wants to carry on
but unfortunately without medical
help the game is up

But after 3 visits with 3 different Doctor's she is no better off

Confined to a walking stick and
good Samaritans who help
a temporary solution at best with
2 week's off with a Doctor's note

Leaving armed with the knowledge 
nothing fixed the problem still persists

Her employment sanity and independence at stake 

And after appointment and Doctor
No 3 

Not a single pill hope nor resolution
to hang on 2

Might as well just have taken 2
Paracetamol as a Placebo

Must be scary at 70 year's old
when you ask but receive no help

Because what is the alternative

When there is no where left to turn next


Premium Member Life In the Fast Lane

I think I know what life's about
   It's ten a.m. when I set out
To eat, and then I snarf my food
   You know that I am looking good

I go to class, get on my phone
   I tell the teach: "Leave me alone!"
She tells me that I'm gonna flunk
   I tell her: "What a bunch of bunk!"

She sends me to the dean, for what?
   I open his door, begin to strut
He says, "The game is up; get out of here."
   I say, "Thanks much, n'go have a beer...
 
Now it's six p.m., time for dinner
   Fries and a coke will sate this sinner 
Then I'm off, to hit the town 
   Rock-and-roll, and come on down 

I get it on with a foxy chick
   We smoke and drink till we get sick
I hit the sack by midnight's end 
   Then I'm up at ten to do it again 

               ******

I trust you liked my little story
   I hope it didn't anger or bore ye
That it's the truth is plain to see
   The bad part is ~ The joke's on me

Not As If All Is Well

The  priceless  honey pot has dropped  from  high  

Fallen  heavily   on   granite   like  egg

The pot is  broken  the honey is spilt-

How  can  I  then   live   as   if   all  is  well  ?


 From  my tear  now  I  seek   and   eat  my  salt  

The dreadlock  on  my  head  is not rasta's

 But   wool  moulded  by  the  grave  dust  and  dew-

 No  ,I  do  not  live   as   if   all  is  well  .


In my black rag I  sit   upon  the  slab  

Cupping my  hand   on  dimming candle  light  

Gazing  like  astronomer  to   see  you

How  sad  ! I  don't   live   as   if   all  is  well  .


Locust has  lost   its  wings the  game  is  up  

Its  skeleton crawling the  field  of fowls 

No  ,your bereaved brother is not  afar  - 

Think you not he   lives   as   if   all  is  well

Alone In a Group

ALONE IN A GROUP

I sit gazing at the big box
With less work to do and many things to think.
The man next to me is busy at work so full
And a lady, anxious of her own looks.
The Secretary of the office is filled with piles of files
And is often on phone on the floor.
And I got nothing 
But to think of all this what I look around in a group
The attendant falls in with a cup of tea
And all eagerly break their ‘busy’ work just to speak.
Some men and women stand and talk loudly
Not really to talk but to show that they can.
Among all, a peon stares at the ceiling only for just a minute
Not like me for hours together.
He whistles, chuckles and always carries a smile
Never is he seen in a mood so fascinated like us
And here, my gaze is fixed on the box
Like many on the Clocks
The Sun waved good bye 
And all rose up from seats
Looked hurriedly at the door;
Looking at each other with smiles 
Only just to say goodbye.
Good bye in a hurry! 
The lights are off; the game is up
The game of playing together to win Loneliness.

This Is What Happens When I Write a Poem Pissed Off

Look deep and hard
Into my eyes.
What do you see?

Neither pain, nor demise.

The burning hatred
Like fire inside
Heats up the very beast tonight.

Play coy.
Pretend it's fake.

Show all.
This is just a game.

When the time comes,
You wont be laughing.

When the time comes,
You wont be smiling.

In the distance,
There will be a scream.
Not of joy,
But pain and suffering.

This little game
You tried to play.

It got tried, weak.

Now your worst fears are here.
Be prepared.

I am no angel.
I'm not a devil.

Play me as a fool,
I use you like a tool.

I'll watch you cry.
Hurt. Bleed inside.
Watch thepain shine through your 
very eyes.

Yes, in the end
I will be the one laughing.

Yes, in the end
I will be the one smiling.

While you risen so high, off your 
stubborness and pride.

I'll enjoy every second
When you fall
Weak as you lost it all.

Your game is up.
Enjoy this bringing of hell.
For.. It's my turn now.

Premium Member Slapping the Witch At Midnight

it loves me
it loves me not
this ball of id and fiery snot

bleet bleet bleet
the runt of life 
this shallow sheep
stomping Gossomer mice.
Eating shadows keeping score
a sagging Teet 
a dripping bore.
The game is up, the pinball tilts
this tired game of slag and silt.

It loves me 
It loves me not
this ball of id and fiery snot.
