I knew my two friends from the neighborhood <br />didn't really want to play, the game I wanted to. <br />When I kicked the ball past the goal <br />They laughed and kept the ball, between them two. <br /> <br />So I asked, 'How's about another game? ' <br />like hop scotch, jacks or rope? <br />But evertime I came up with an idea <br />the answer they gave was, 'Nope! ' <br /> <br />So I found a game I could play alone <br />didn't have to please anyone else that day. <br />It was the best time I can remember <br />playing one of my favorite games with me, my way!<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/didn-t-want-to-play-the-game/
