Fun and frustration
..........................................................................
Backgammon Haikus
By Phil Simborg
Watching the dice come up cocked/Very much like my first marriage.
Your disgustingly slow play will not disturb my inner tranquility/I recite
this mantra as I plan his dismemberment.
Alone in the box/Watching the faces of my former friends.
Whether to make his 5 point or mine/Wishing I could flip a coin so no one
could see.
Please tell me how lucky I am one more time/Let me show you what hot
coffee feels like.
I gently offer you the cube with the utmost respect/Hoping you will choke
on it and die.
Tell me again how the dice on line are fair/Tell me again where Santa
Claus lives.
The joy of making the prime/A feeling not unlike a successful visit to the
bathroom.
Watching him gammon me with that smirk on his face/Wishing I had a gun.
How hard can it be to keep the dice on the table?/Wondering how this man
can drive a car.
