Rock, Paper, Scissors

I have a theory to test I always thought scissors was best When I throw scissors down A rock comes around I should have done paper I guess Next time it is paper I throw And just like that don’t you know His scissors appears And my paper it shears A rock would have won it and so The next time it’s rock in my hand I’ll win it this time – I’m the man Then his paper comes out Wraps my rock without doubt This game I just don’t understand But you know the next time we meet He’ll be the one that is beat I just have to think through it Don’t know how I’ll do it But somehow I’ll learn how to cheat Mdailey 6/11/11 2nd place finish in contest

LOL It seems this is a game you can't win, Mike. The rock, paper or scissors can all be trumped by one of the others. Very clever limerick! Wishing you success in PD's contest and congratulations on have your poem featured. Love, Carolyn
