Let’s Make a Deal   April 28, 2013

Let’s make a deal

Behind door number one

I’ll tell you what’s there!

He’s a jokester

He snorts and jabs and rips

Self-disparaging that others might laugh

Humor shields him

A big-smiling clown

Let’s a make a deal

Behind door number two

I’ll tell you what’s there!

He’s a thinker

He conceives and considers and surmises

Among the playground walking-wounded, glasses thrown

Intelligence shields him

A steely Rodin

Let’s make a deal

Behind door number three

I’ll tell you what’s there!

He’s a jock

He runs and sweats and tones

A new body since being picked last at school

Beauty shields him

A pin-striped player

Let’s make a deal

Take what’s behind all three doors

I’ve told you what’s there!

Or you can take what’s in the box:

               He’s just rounding the corner.

Let’s make a deal

Reach in, there’s cash in this pocket

               It’s what you’ve been waiting for

               The stuff of dreams

Or you might go home empty-handed
