Time To Play
Time To Play
by Rick Rucker
For my birthday, my lover took me away,
She said that it was time to play.
She took me for a drive,
To a casino, where I became Alive.
She went to the slots, and gambled,
I wrote poetry, and rambled!
To the room, she came back,
With her winnings, she has the knack.
When she walked in, I could see,
She was staring, right at me!
I asked her what had I done,
She said only,"You are the One!"
She said, that as she came in the Door,
She couldn't take it any more!
She wanted always to come Home,
To a poetry-writing Gnome!
"So," I said, "What is new?"
She said "My mind has changed, I'll say 'I Do! ' "
