The Parcheesi Crows

[the mingo]

if I play
parcheesi with her
I lose

she never resorts
to superstition
her strategies
are immaculate

even when I'm
sure of victory
she somehow gets
home before me
my men left
in the field
dead in their tracks
their eyes ate
by crows

Adam was created
from the ground
Eve was created
from Adam

of all mysteries
this might prove
greatest

my daughter always whups my ass at checkers
I think my attention drifts during the game
she sees it
and moves in for the kill

[still.trucking]

We love them because they are not men
while we are grateful not to have been created woman

[the mingo]

We love them because they are not men
while we are grateful not to have been created woman

Profundity will get my approval every time.

Your two lines are profound, so much better than prolost, every time.

aah yes that feminine wile
that is intensely competitive
my ex was a fantastic ping pong player
even when she could have won without
a dramatic slam....she used the dramatic slam
to emphasize her victory

[the mingo]

she used the dramatic slam
to emphasize her victory

ain't it the truth, ain't it the truth - then there are the ones who are without drama, who just leave you standing there as the fact tears itself down your throat
