Analysis of Play The Game
Run the race. Soar the skies.
Keep the pace.
Earn the prize.
Hit the gong. Have the fun.
Sing the song.
Greet the sun.
Cut the bait. Hook the fish.
Pick the mate.
Make the wish.
Kick the can. Skip the rope.
Craft the plan.
Grant the hope.
Spin the top. Ride the steed.
Dance the bop.
Meet the need.
Hop the wall. Take the aim.
Catch the ball.
Play the game.
