Fair Game
If it's a fair game all can win.
If it's a fair game the running
and sweating is equal
and the results can be timed.
If it's a fair game, when the clock runs down,
no miracle is asked or given, no tricks unveiled.
If it's a true game,
a zero sum invites the victor
and consoles the loser to lockers
and fifths of whiskey.
If it's a fair game no writing is required,
no comma misplaced.
