the eternal game

we have to choose between dragon or rat
between a fiery and a gnawing fate
by honest judgment or plain estimate

only a fool declares the world is flat
one who feels comfort in unearned estate
we have to choose between dragon and rat

the loser's always taken to the mat
we know this clearly and without debate
the impost falls and we must pay the rate
we have to choose between dragon and rat
