Do real life people actually fall in love
with the idea of being in love?

They choose the colors for the nursery.
They design all the aspects of their married life.
A real person stands no chance of measuring up to those fantasies.

This is no child's game. This is the big one -

The Judge is silent.
How can I win the Game?
"You can never win," comes the answer,
"So just take pleasure in playing the Game."

Who made the rule that life has to be so serious?
One would think that "life is serious" had been engraved

have caviar for breakfast and oatmeal for dinner,
wear a purple coat with a red hat - dance lightly with life.
