Analysis of Game of phones
Neil Mckenzie 1959 (Brooklyn Nyc)
"Game of Phones"
The mad king is not to be trusted...
He is starting to juggle his shiney objects...
Watch the weak ones fall under his spell, as he tells the strong ones to go to hell...
"I do as I please, because im the king"...
Now which one of my pawns wants to kiss my ring ?...
Who defys loyalty, i need to know...
Its off with his head will be his final show...
Its not what i say, its what i meant...
Hey im the king i will never repent...
Just then the king noticed all the republicans running...
Thats when Giuliani shouted "Hey Man"...
"Winter is Coming"...
