wasted youth on 
being wasted 
tasting the lips of liars
with checkered pasts
playing the game
not playing the game
being game
taming 
the shrew
I liked to shop 
hunting for bargains 
hunting for game
game over
he was no bargain
what is the price 
you'll pay? 
at what cost?                
Interesting PLAY on these GREAT words of wisdom! I can relate to every word. Thanks too, for the comment on my latest attempt. Mine was a dream, where as, this is real life. Barbara

I think any woman who's been involved in a few relationships can related to every word in this poem, powerful, it evokes a lot of emotion. I adored 'tasting the lips of liars with checkered pasts.'
