In The Game of Love

B Patterson

Oh how exciting it is to be in love
No, not in love with a person, but a sport
A fondness many are undeserving of
Although it’s easy to fall extremely short
I often feel like i’m flying high above
I’m so immaculate I need an escort
Thanks for watching, but i’ve just started my grind
Soon i’ll be crossing ankles, like you are blind
