Win Or Lose We Pick And Choose
Win or lose we pick and choose the people we befriend.
Weak or spined, petty and kind,
these parties we defend.
Win or lose we pick and choose the frolic we enjoy.
High or low, fast and slow,
these pleasures we employ.
Win or lose we pick and choose the values we uphold.
Right or left, obtuse and deft,
these features we enfold.
Win or lose we pick and choose the places we reside.
Here or there, dismal and fair,
these sectors we abide.
Win or lose we pick and choose the ones we like to love.
Hot or cold, timid and bold,
these fit like hand-in-glove.
Win or lose we pick and choose the way we live are lives.
Good or bad, happy and sad,
these skits we realize.
