Let's play a game.
A game! that's fun!
It's a special game and really cool,
and really fun - it has one rule,
which I won't tell until it's done.
I'll say a word, and you tell me,
just any word, like maybe "jeans"
and you tell me what that word means,
and if you're really smart, we'll see.
We know that jeans are pants, to wear
for work or fun, they're blue and long.
No, you're so dumb, your answer's wrong,
you have defective genes, beware!
This is the game of "asker wins",
to put another person down.
The second one must play the clown,
his loss is nothing, if he grins.
Author notes
It's all just fun, isn't it? A lot of people think it is, sometimes it is not.
What do you think?

Winner
A person is only a winner when he makes up his mind he or she is a winner. There are not losers in love and forgiveness, and if someone isn't in it for that, I"m not in it with them :0)
*hugs*

Hey Paps! good to see you.
You have another great viewpoint on this game. If they do not love and forgive, then they aren't friends, and there is no point in playing with them. It is in games like this that we find out our own hearts and others'.
Best wishes for a happy, healthy and safe summer.

Loser Wins
Calvin Ball anyone?
When the "loser" in true humilty grins
Then they are the one that truly wins.
Without hurt pride there's no humiliation.
And the "asker", with their game of denegration,
Perhaps in understanding may come to find
To their owns selves have been unkind.
We only lose what we are afraid to give...
We only win when with Love we live.
Life is such a Lovely game...
Thank you for yet another well-penned thought...
Be ever bright and blessed,
Rahad

Dear Rahad, thank you, thank you! You gave the insight I needed, and sweetly in rhyme too.
"Loser Wins" was the game I forgot, which makes all the difference. We are all clowns, and the ones who know it have more fun. You gave me a smile; Calvinball is a great game.
Have a lovely summer, I'm off for vacation Friday.

Asker Norway?
JUST ASK HER
Okay I will...
I once knew an asker in Dallas
Who just learned of a City
Named Asker in Norway
So now I'm an asker
asking without a grin
Because confused
And since nobody asked...
I thought I'd ask her
And if you asked, "Who?"
I'd say the poetic author
of this poem "Asker Wins"
What does pray tell
a confused...
asker not grinning
win?
And... when said author
Returns from vacation
Do explain to this asker so...
Confusion won't cover my grin
BTW: Margaret, you'll be missed

Oh, dear, this was confusing. I didn't mean to tie you in poetic and cognitive knots. The point is that I think it is unkind to make points from someone else's embarrassment. Their only defence is to pretend it is humour.
I'm leaving soon - perhaps I am giving too much notice. Thanks for your visit and wonderful comment.

Dear Margaret,
This game, I think, sounds rather fun;
a bit like: "Pull-the-Other-One!"
I'd really like to play with you
and have in mind a word or two
but I don't wish to be absurd -
so wait for you to give the word.
With love and hugs, XXX Hugh (Waiting.....)

I'm game for anything where I have a fair chance of winning. Mostly I stick to cards - games of wit are too fast for me.

I loved loved loved it. Sometimes people take some stuff in life way to seriously lol.
Thanks for the laugh!
