The First Line Is From Dashiell Hammett

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The relative merits of
"yes" and "no"
 segue to talk about
rain and snow
 
Manny and Mo
are toe-to-toe
in foot wrestling
 
There are 
jeers and cheers
as the bets go down
and the prize
goes up
 
Who would
think or drink
it could happen
that way
 
Then says the man
who could part
the sea
I'm betting all my money
on me
 
Everybody loses or wins
victory and defeat
are fraternal twins
