Everybody plays the fool

Some ... with their tools ...

Others ... with their words

Altho, some are unheard ...



Everybody likes to win 

And so, they skate thin ...

Trying to slide between

All of the different teams



Doing so, they bend and twist

As others try to deflect and resist

... Which makes both sides seem silly

Regardless of which one's the real dilly
