The Game of Life

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: April 12, 2015

It's more than just a board game…

The game of Life can be quite fun
until (at last) it's finally done.
And then when we've had one last turn
it all goes in the box.

Much like Monopoly is played
we buy and sell and sometimes trade.
And even when we've earned a lot,
it goes back in the box.

Like Scattergories and Taboo,
life's filled with Risk for me and you.
We can be Sorry when the pieces
go back in the box.

It's Trivial Pursuit at best.
We haven't got a Clue unless
we get a Yahtzee just before
it goes back in the box.

But life is more than just a game
and that is why the Savior came
so we can know the final score
before we're in a box.
