Reindeer Games

Best behavior
Reindeer games
Charades, facades, and masks
Why waste time with hide and seek?
It's fatiguing to be constantly charming
It's enervating to find everything amusing
Should I trick you into loving me?
Must I be a princess to admire and adore
and only reveal my warty toad-ness after the vows are sealed?
How satisfying to know that I'm such a great actress!
How pathetic that you could be so easily fooled!
How sad that people play these parlor games
And ever think they win.
