The Game of Categories

It’s spring, you sprang, You’re lefty, said loosey, Fall back, lean on, A trusty, what? That’s not a word, A long A, You don’t know what’s umlauts, Cedillas, the things above Spanish Ns. Thanks for the shot But you’ll never get my rules For categories, it’s easy, I’ll start, crimes, Or things you can get arrested for, Start with your personal history, Okay, me first… Shoplifting. Your turn, drink while you think… Murder. Breaking and entering. Kidnapping. Mail Fraud. Drunk Driving. Treason. Rape. Dognapping. Animal abuse. Domestic abuse. Child abuse. Remember the rules: 1. No repeats. If you repeat, drink and come up with a new category. 2. If it takes you a little while to go, drink while you think. 3. If you say something not really deemed within that category by the other players, you drink and come up with a new one. Category is: Break-up lines. It’s not you, it’s me. I’m gay. You’re just like my father. You drink. Yes, just like your father. This game sucks. Drink.

Yeah, it's a bit rough, but not sucking bad. Kinda funny and serious too.

LOL...i like it...it's amusing...the rhythm is there...broken at times...especially by the numbered section (it just doesn't flow well)...it's real...very real...in fact...i've played that game...i think; i forget, i was probably drunk.

it made me laugh, and that's worth at least a 7

peace,
