Jeremy Yanofsky
When All Else Fails

Do or die
Do no deny

The perils of your present situation
The duties of your ambition's invocation

Straws are drawn
Ballots, so long

The die is cast
But not so fast

WE HAVE A TIE
for the thousandth time

Forego the pistols at dawn
Shun the tug-of-war fun
Eschew the battles of rock-paper-scissors
Forget the potato sack race
Dismiss the tic-tac-toe
Save the rubber chicken-kinfe street fight
for another occasion
Pass the 7-Up
Let's not pick names out of hats, people

When all else fails in such a strife of sophistication
There's only way to resolve this democratic inebriation

MUDWRESTLING.
