The Long Acre Paddock

Life is a slip on the ice It's a spent game a try, a clash a save, a dash It's a burger with the works a song & dance, a purloined chance a flashy show, a slow-river flow a blind quest, a fleeting guest It's a dense mirror a cloudy glass, a quick pass a heedless pawn, a crystal dawn, a sly ploy, a heart-busting joy It's a sinner's prayer
