Here I am again
in the club.

Came for lunch,
stayed for a beer,
and to play
the one-armed bandits.

The victory jingles
of many machines
are deafening,
but they are not
playing for me.

So many times,
one off that
big prize.

Better to stop now
than later.

Therefore

That is a poem
it is a lyric verse
all lyric verses are poetry,
therefore all poetry is lyric verse.

That is green
it is a blade of grass
all grass is green,
therefore all things green are grass.
