ACEY DEUCEY
My dear lady
Let’s play an acey deucey.
It is my favourite game.
Let’s throw our nice dice and move our pieces.
You try your luck and strategy.
I try my luck and strategy.
You play whatever you like.
I like to play all doubles.
Double six and double one;
Double five and double two;
Double four and double three;
They all represent my initials.
Perhaps you could have a nice crossing.
Perhaps I could have a nice crossing.
You would hold me and push me back.
I would hold you and push you back.
And later we would try to catch each other.
Perhaps I would be a casualty of crossing
More than you could be.
Perhaps you would be a casualty of crossing
More than I could be.
You win and I lose.
I win and you lose.
In the end it makes no difference.
Let’s play another acey deucey.
It wouldn’t be the same game.
After all
A company of two is bored.
A company of three is bold.
