Who will win?
Well, that depends on if they’re…
in the ocean…
or on railroad tracks.
If they’re on a seesaw…
or in hot-air
balloons.
Roasting
marshmallows…
eating pies…
or having a
burping contest.
It depends on whether
they’re bowling…
shooting baskets…
or going off
the high-dive.
Running lemonade stands…
trick-or-treating…
or giving rides at a carnival.
It can depend on who
gets to pick first…
who names
the game…
and who deals
the cards.
But who wins
if they’re…
playing hide-and-seek…
or trying not
to get shushed?
Performing in a piano recital…
or playing Extreme
Zombie-Squirrel Motocross?
Exploring distant galaxies…
or sword fighting
on a tightrope…
or…
End of the line.
