Type T Tommy Picks His Poison
12.9.2017
Personality
Type T
They call him Type T Tommy
Only walks the lines
He can’t see
And he takes every chance
He can
Not safe to walk
He ran
In a world of can’t
He can
He’s climbed every mountain
He’s crossed every sea
He’s battled all the odds
Still he looks to increase
What can he do next
To up the risk dance
But remove more control
And leave more to chance
He’s devised a game
One player
Fifty plays
Odds
One in over a quadrillion
One layer
Fifty nays
One in
One quadrillion
105 trilliion
899 billion
906 million
842 thousand
624 and
Some change
To be exact
And he’s already planning
What he’ll do after that
To survive life loss
Type T Tommy has to show
He can win each coin toss
Fifty times in a row
What happens to Tommy
If he was to lose
What happens to Tommy
There’s no “what” to choose
He’s risking his life
For the high of his life
Ride the sharp of the knife
The thrill of each toss
Carries the weight
Just one loss
All it takes
The question’s not “What?”
No the question is “How?”
Type T Tommy
Pick your poison
Odds you’ve lost
Pick it now
But the flips
They keep coming
Tommy’s winning somehow
Type T Tommy
Pick your poison
Odds you’ve lost
Pick it now
10, 20, 30
Now 40 plus tosses
He’s nailed every heads
He’s kicked all tails
He’s called every one
Without any losses
44, 45, 46, 47
Blew past 48
Then 49 tosses
Type T Tommy
Pick your poison
Odds you’ve lost
Pick it now
But the flips
They kept coming
He still won them somehow
Type T Tommy
Only one coin toss left
He’s broken no sweat
He’s called 49
Hasn’t lost one yet
Only one coin toss left
50/50’s its bet
Have you picked your poison
If you don’t pass this test
Type T Tommy in response
Does what he does best
And claims he’s just planning
What he is going to do next
Then he calls for heads up
On the final flip bets
Only he not surprised
When the quarter landed heads
In amazement
Finally asked him
What he planned to do next
Pick my poison
He replied
Type T Tommy
Won’t rest
Pick my poison
He replied
Keep putting life to the test
I need odds much greater than
One in over a quadrillion
Over one in
One quadrillion
105 trilliion
899 billion
906 million
842 thousand
624 and
Some change
To be exact
And he’s already planning
What he’ll do after that
