Competition
Musical chairs
Is a cruel little game
So deliberate and concise
How each round
Eliminates one player
There just isn't room enough
Go directly to jail
Do not pass Go
Do not collect two hundred dollars
Like the new favorite dress
Which is chosen for the evening
While last year's go-to frock
Is pushed toward the back of the closet
Designation: Consignment shop status
Similarly
I'm carried forward
On the crest of this wave
Of chilly determination
Make no mistake
I don't think for a moment
That I'm better than you
I'm simply next
We're wired in series, not parallel
So unfair
The strongest don't survive
Not even the most worthy
The most wily do
Who are quickest to adapt
There's only so much
To go around
