 Losing One's Marbles

The game of marbles started with

Cave people who would ball up clay,

And hone game skills, which be no myth,

Balls are still found in modern day.

Prized objects these "marbles" became,

Attempting to collect the most,

By having great thumb/finger aim.

Winners had good reason to boast.

But for ev'ry winner there be,

One or more losers with ill rub.

When marbles were lost completely,

The loser oft would take to club.

"Losing one's marbles" be a phrase

Tracked back to the cave people days.
