Playground Justice and Being Fair

Heads I win, tails you lose. Granny’s rules. Last in’s lousy. I’ll fight you for it. It’s my turn now. Fair’s fair. You had first go last time. But you can be first next time. You said that yesterday. You can be first tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes. No playing favourites. But that’s not fair. Granny’s rules. That’s cheating. Come on, fair go. Cheats don’t prosper. Flukes don’t count. Who says it’s a fluke. Granny’s rules. Best out of three. Who says. I say. How do you get to say. Because I’m the oldest and you’re the youngest. I bags it. But I saw it first. Finderskeepers Losersweepers. Who says. I say. Because I’m the biggest. Swap you. I’ll lend it to you until lunchtime. But you’ve go two. Share and share alike. Fair’s fair. Fair share. Share and share alike. Fair’s fair. Fair share. Go you halves. Don’t be a crybaby. Don’t be a cissy. Don’t be yellow. Take it like a man. Learn to take your medicine. But you hit below the belt. Don’t be a bad sport. You lost your temper. Because I’m bigger than you. Because if you don’t I’ll tell my brother. Pick on someone your own age. Pick on someone your own size. But you ganged up on me. You’ll cop it. You’ll get yours. I’ll get you back for that. I’ll get my own back, you’ll see. You promised not to tell. You dobbed me in. Now we’re quits. You’re on my side. I’ll stick up for you if you’ll stick up for me. I won’t tell on you if you don’t tell on me. You’re not in this game. Because we say you’re not. Coming ready or not. First to the tree and back gets it. Because they’re the rules. Who says. I say. Why. Because I’m the biggest. Granny’s rules. Bet you I’m right. Shake on it. I’m the boss of the game. Why. Because I own the bat. That doesn’t count, I’ll give you a start. Bags be first. Because I had my fingers crossed. Fair’s fair. Do us a favour. Tell tale tittle tongue your tongue will split and the puppy dogs will all get a bit. Let’s vote on it. Because you’re a girl. Because girls don’t count. Because you’re too little. They’re all your friends. Promise not to tell. You’ll be sorry. I’ll be in it if you’ll be in it. I won’t tell on you if you don’t tell on me. I’m the King of the Castle and you’re the dirty rascal. Silence in the court the monkey wants to talk the first one to talk is a monkey. Wait for me you promised. But you promised. Cross your heart and spit your death. On your honour. On your oath. I’ll fight you for it. Let’s go halves. Fair’s fair. Share and share alike. Shake on it.
