+| You think building Hoggle's a hard game?
+| You know bunk.  Writing a ghazal's a hard game.
+
+| Let's meet in a place where words & fabric play---
+| but not [plastic][] words.  (Boggle's a hard game.)
+

+| over steak, though making it sizzle's a hard game.
+
+| Let's go to a brothel, [rub shoulders][] with bare

+
+| Maybe we could switch professions, you and I,
+| you write the poems, I'll puppet Fozzie---a hard game.
+
