And so - the irony of playing the game their way
was all but lost on fastidious wagers; you could
bet who’d be too obsessed to see when “odds”
weakened or the contest disappeared, or could
second-guess, as well as foresee which way th’
ratios would redress; thus we saved our money,
a no-stress compilation, or maybe the potpourri
simply of being contestants far better prepared
Well, it ain’t a Wall Street Stock Exchange - you
only get reactions t’ any probability rates will be
on a rampant rise again - so we stayed out of it;
but we’re here to play on the field of endeavour,
the one where your skillsets in th’ contest bests
any form of ‘Trumpery’ from th' egocentric pest
