I have not seen this game going for a little while-
Here's a song that everytime I hear it- a card comes to mind.
I hope it's not to easy ;)
"Curbside Prophet"
by Jason Mraz (he's good for a few cards-heehee)
I’m just a curbside prophet with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket to come.
I’m just a curbside prophet with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket, ya'll.
y’see it started way back in N.Y.C
when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
at a west end avenue at 63
the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96
with a guitar picked up in the mix I committed to the licks like a nickel bag of tricks.
Well look at me now, look at me now
look at me now, now, now, now
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
well you’re never gonna guess, where i’ve been, been, been
And i have no regrets- that i bet my whole checking account,
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end.
well you can only count on the road again
we’ll soon be on the radio dial.
And i been payin' close attention to the Willie Nelson style,
like a band of gypsies on the highway mile.
I’m one man pushin’ on the california skyline- drive up the coast I brag and I boast.
I ’m pickin up my pace, makin' time like space ghost-
raising a toast- to the highway patrol with the most
put my cruise control on coast.
Cuz i'm tourin' around the nation on extended vacation see
I got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitations
I say, "I like your style, crazy pound pup!
you need a ride? [*woof*] well come on, girl, hop in the truck!"
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come.........
See i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover, with my guitar here, i'm ready to play.
And i'm s a sucker for a filly, got a natural ability, I'm geared to freestyle, look at my flexibility.
Dangerous at the mike, my ghetto hat's cocked right.
The ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
The backstage betties taking more than they can get
they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?"
Hey, hey, something's different in my world today.
Well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow.
Hey, hey, something's different in my world today.
They changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow.
i'm just a curbside prophet
curbside prophet now
curbside prophet now
curbside
come on, now
curbside prohet
waiting for my rocket to come...

There is alot more than just the dog that I connect with the Fool- in both picture & meaning.
So since there really was no guessing game of it- I'm changing the rules this one time.
Point out the Fool in the song....
for example-
leap year; Fool's about to take an (?) unexpected leap...

Obviously, the way the main character in the song acts is alot like the Fool. Off on an adventure and out and about!
Also, he's semi-spontaneous, but I could say "apparent folly" also covers the situation... :P
That's my two cense.
