Blessed And Cursed
Come and play, don't be aghast
If you play and come in last
Come and play, you'll be immersed
If you play and come in first
When you play your very worst
Then you feel your luck is cursed
When you play your very best
Then you feel your luck is blessed
Losing is an ego burst
Winning is the quench for thirst
