The Tricky Game
Set on the lane, blinded by their wears
They hop and leap like restless frogs,
With croaking echoes trailing behind.
They keep jumping while their minds turn deaf to caution,
No teammate pulls them back to gather their sense,
No mirror shows them what the game has shaped.
Even their shadow mock them in funny gestures
Bodies tied to the rhythm for control
All because they crave the bubbles of nature's joy.
So they dance to the tune without pause,
While audience hoots with rolling laughter
Watching shadows perform louder than the players
Indeed, it's a funny game,
A twisted art of turning humans to frogs,
Tricky, yet strangely fresh with fun.
