   There may be little use for many games.   
   Aside from the games themselves.   
      
   There tends to be an unstated understanding   
   between those who intentionally refuse to understand.   
      
   The ground rules   
   so to speak.   
      
   >Love & Peace, Peter   
      
   People stand   
   from the ground up.   
      
   Someone sends out a ping.   
   Another returns with a pong.   
      
   Between them is the net.   
      
   When complete understanding occurs,   
   when semantics are without wrinkle,   
   there remains little left to being right.   
      
   Game are often ended   
   for lack of any reason to continue.   
      
   In order for time to be wasted in fun-mode,   
   there may need to be degrees of similarity,   
   along with degrees of apparent difference.   
      
   When either, similarity or difference, is beyond   
   the boundaries, the ground gives way.   
   Being out-of-bounds.   
      
   Rulers may rule incrementally.   
   Some cover feet, yards or miles.   
   Some wear crowns, of diamonds, or thorns.   
      
   To think waste is a bad thing   
   might be to ignore its potential, plus   
   how in order for profit to profit   
   there needs to be something else   
   known as unprofitable.
