The Bop - Twister

Twister - the beautiful game,
'tis no more, the critics report,
as with debilitated moral,
and scurrilous aim,
flirtation abound,
corrupts this fine sport.

Coloured circles of auburn and cobalt,
gates to temptation, and utmost fault.

An outlying example?
Alas child, not so.
Sin and vice spreads far and wide,
depravity as far as Uno.
Nepotism in The Game of Life,
shattered monarchies in Chess.
Murder abound in Cluedo,

Coloured circles of auburn and cobalt,
gates to temptation, and utmost fault.

facts learnt, with no-one barred
though its questions are incredibly hard

Coloured circles of auburn and cobalt,
gates to temptation, and utmost fault.

"On which aircraft carrier did the Duke of York serve, during the Falklands War?"
"Which painter threw a knife at Paul Gauguin in the French town of Arles?"
"What kind of school for dogs was first established in Nashville, Tennesse, in 1929?"
