I try to win the games of words or cards,
but 2-suit Spider stymied me so much
I broke a winning streak (a streak retards
my processing with pressure’s squeezing touch).
I then threw off the records and its guards.
I upped the game to add a suit, and such
was all it took to goose my brain to flare –
another lesson learned at solitaire…
