Harold the Hugh Hefner wannabe carrot top...

of doe eyed demoiselles 
stewed over...

the former cartoon character,
a pensive searing black kind Roebuck

“Another game?”
“Yes, I think so but let’s change
the rules. What if we create some
holes in the game, three or four
perhaps with parallel endings?”

Better choose quick
Just might lose if
You don't do it

Their voices scream out...
