Shall We Play? Tra la la-

We’ve just been introduced.

I do not know you well.

But when the cards were shuffled.

Something drew me to your side.

I sensed we could be friends.

Share a joke or two.

It made me think we might be— Similarly occupied.

Shall we play? Tra la la-

Shall we all sit together,

And depend upon each other?

On a clear understanding that we signal with the 7’s-remember to count aces.

One two three -as we give it a try.

On a bright cloud of music.

Go down with four jokers and hope our partner can add to the pie.

With a clear understanding that this kind of thing can happen, so we try and then try, yes let’s try.

Shall we still play together, when the last of the three’s have left the deck?

Staying tethered to the table.

And show up with poker faces.

Cause we know we are better.

For engaging one another.

So we played and we played and we tried.
