many a time we played
in the public bar
of the
Fox and Duck
and as luck would have it
I won
on more than one occasion.

Now they want to shove me
in some geriatric
home away from home
with old people
they can push off
I'm staying put.

Push me pull me
lull me into a false sense
of security and then what?

I need Adrenalin
not mollycoddling.

The nanny state can fukin wait
I'm playing truant.
