I learned very early,
In the playing of 'this' game...
That some people play,
Deciding who to pick...
For an inflicted customized pain.
These folks eventually...
Bring about their own detriment.
And shame to claim.
And all that is needed to witness this...
Is opened eyes observing.
And a biting of a lower lip!
Knowing that the taking of their nonsense,
Will one day pay dividends...
To the one who has gone through it!
And a skipping with a hopping done enjoyed,
Is not necessary to do in public although tempting.
