Realization's come - it's a special day

The one which many regard as pay

-Back to all who've crossed their path

And rubbed them the wrong way in past



So they will play their games and do tricks

Trying hard to win ... over folks, as they tick

Pulling fast ones on left, right, and center

Silly little games, as they go on and enter



Stuff to make them feel good about THEM

With total disregard to those who they send

These crazy little things they will make to use

Upon others they suspect have given them abuse



But the real fool on this - their very special day

Is them - for they have instigated their way

And so - they will feel bad sometime in future

For the guilt and their shame - will then mature



- Tristram
