(109) June 12, 2010: Invented Games

INVENTED GAMES

Invented games to pass the time,
Described in semicircle rites,
Some tricky hooks stay lured for years,
The best hang on for centuries.

Described in semicircle rites,
The amphitheatric chanting dirge,
Conscripts the mind and feeds the urge.

Some tricky hooks stay lured for years
Beyond the memory, back to what
The dead men heard in the hermit’s hut.

The best hang on for centuries
Enshrined in books and citadels,
Their fame proclaimed by steeple bells.
