Monopoly, with its color-coded squares
and unfettered stacks of money gesture
to every bone, passion and feeling.

Come and take a chance, shuffle a pack
of cards with their names painted clearly
upon each, its allure can cause even the
smallest of serenities to breach.

Come cast upon the fateful dice, choose
‘Leicester Square or Marlborough street’
it’s a game of wits when you think about
it really, outside as leaves dance with the
wind,

Come play with me and lets see if you can
win?
