Dominoes

I love playing dominoes with you honey 

The way you react when you have no move is funny 

We both sound like we are playing for prize money 

And I laugh so hard it makes my nose runny 

  

I love you even though you beat me at it all the time 

The way you play dominoes is just sublime 

And to be good at it isn’t really a crime 

I just want to tease you and I would with these rhymes 

  

Someday I will beat you even if I have to cheat 

Matching tiles without the bone yard is such a feat 

And I guess it is just right that I admit defeat 

 To be able to beat you and get even would be so sweet 

  

When we play dominoes you really keep me on my toes 

You make me think hard and I guess it just shows 

 In dominoes you are one of this world’s magnificoes 

I salute you now but I swear to beat you one day in Dominoes
