PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I first learned it from my grandmother. Now my grandmother was a wonderful person, she taught me how to play the game of monopoly. She understood that the name of the game was to acquire, she would accumulate everything she could and eventually she became the master of the board. Then she would always say to me "One day you will learn to play the game". One summer I played monopoly almost everyday and that summer I learned to play the game. I came to understand that money and possession is the way you keep score. By the end of that summer, I was more ruthless than my grandmother, I was ready to bend the rules if I had to win the game. I sat down to play with her that fall, I took everything she had, watched her give her last dollar and quit in utter defeat. Then she had one more thing to teach me. Then she said "Now it all goes back in the box".
