Fun Time For Adults by Bryon D. Howell

I think I've come to like you but I play -
a little hide and seek is always fun.
With feelings it is "Tag, you're it..." all day.
As far as rules, I play by every one.
Perhaps a little "Simon Says" is fair?
With cards my choice of games is always fish.
I'm not a fan at all of "Truth or Dare."
Too worried what the likes of you might wish!
I hope that you will be my new plaything.
I've got a million treats in my toy bin.
once you put down that fool decoder ring -
prepare to meet your doom, I always win!
What did you say - can we soon play again?
No way! Get out! Go find your own playpen!
