Relatives

Relatives

Do not be fooled:
rock only beats scissors in context,
in children's games, in caves.

There are no rocks
in my kitchen drawer,
my toolbox, or my truck.

I'm sticking with scissors
'til the paper's all gone.

HA! Good one Tigerlion-

I'm glad this is in MISC because I don't have any critiques to offer, only the sound of loose rocks knocking.

The last two lines are true scissors... uh...  winners, I mean.  Really though- funny as hell!

My question, though, is how rock-paper-scissors will work in the digital age:  if "paper" becomes "glass", then "rocks" could be handy.   Still, like you, I have always been a bigger fan of "scissors":  something about having sharp objects around, I guess.

Also: great title!

Thanks!! Fun read!

Thanks Billy and Mark. This started as a comment on bullying and morphed into a sort of comment on economics and the environment. If I managed to keep it to 8 lines and got a laugh, I'm happy. (relatively)
Thanks for reading.
