Joy versus Fun

I lost a bet
I paid the rent
I stole the show
I reached a bow

But I lost the war
I said the store
Was meek and fragile

And yet the day was happy
And the teeth always had a fight

The tenth was an eleventh
And the wind was never blight

But the day was lost
The aim a sandy firmament of the shore

For the light was at dawn
And I had lost the war

But the day is not done
And the terror refrains from the shadows

The world is a friend
And the winner will always pay his rent.
