Today’s NaPoWriMo prompt is to write a poem using “Skeltonic verse. . . [which] gets its name from John Skelton, who used short stanzas with irregular meter, but two strong stresses per line (otherwise know as “dipodic” or “two-footed” verse). The lines rhyme, but there’s not a rhyme scheme. The poet simply rhymes against one word until he or she gets bored and moves on to another.” For A to Z Challenge the GoodReads quote has the letter Y. Also, I’m using the Flash Fiction for the Aspiring Writer Prompt and thanks to Priceless Joy for that.

I’ve always sucked at games of chance. Always hated them for that reason.” ― Rick Yancey, The Infinite Sea

You play so wrong
That’s not the right song
Put on that one song
That one goes on and on
Now play flippy cup
We need beer cups
Then we’ll drink it up
Some plastic red ones
Let’s fill them up some
Bring the keg dear
Drink up your beer
Flip up your cup, here
Now down the line clear
Flip your cups, then drink beer
Down at the end immersed
Drink your beer first
Quench your intense thirst
Our team wins first,
Move down the line
You’re doin‘ just fine
Every time a new game
Big red cup for shame
I’ll fill you up the same
And we’ll keep playing
More rounds of flippy cup
