The Games!

She was a trivial pursuit

Which lead to a mouse trap.

Followed by snakes and ladders

Soon, became a monopoly.

She took my knight

I took her castle

Checkmate!

She then gave me a straight flush

I had four aces.

After a hop, skip and a jump

I put her pieces together, jigsaw.

In the end we had a crossword

Game over!

I was shot putt

I wanted to scrabble

She crossed the bridge

It just wasn't cricket!

that last line is so Aussie - I dunno who would get the reference besides me - love it - did you both end up building tall castles and get jenga'd out - or perhaps it was time for a bit of nudey 'Opeeration' - love this - very clever my friend X

very clever use of the games to examine the different levels of a relationship---when it comes down to it, we can all be little mice trapped in a maze, trying to find a way out, once we find the cheese put before us was only to tempt us, not to keep us with love.

[andrew mitchell]

How true indeed Jacob thanks for your review

[Jane Taylor Hardy]
