I play games, iPad and phone,

day and night, sometimes alone.

Games that shoot, finding rings,

challenge my brain with many things.

I collect stars, defend castle walls,

kick, hit and shoot different balls.

Shoot at monsters, zombies and trolls,

find the treasure behind waterfalls.

Games when I’m bored, away from the boss

they add energy, to a day that is lost.

Play games in bed, play on the john.

play when the TV has nothing on. 

Building an empire, flying through space.

Fighting a war, preparing to race.

Building words, or escaping a maze,

an outlet to help me get thru my days.

Scores that matter, goals to achieve, 

multiple chances to fail and repeat.

Dissect a puzzle, learn a new path,

test my brain, avoid natures wrath.

Diet and exercise are good for your health,

magic coins can help you fight stealth.

Playing these games, can drive you insane,

but I find them welcomingly training my brain.
