I Still Miss D&D But I've Found a Balm For This Pain

I'm of a certain age; I'm an adult,
With adult roles and claims upon my day.
There's more than just my wishes to consult,
And I'm required to plan ahead to play.
In college days, a good role-playing game
Was measured out in sessions hours long.
We'd play for days or weeks with no great shame.
And focus on keeping our stories strong.
No longer do we have that luxury,
My friends and I; thank goodness for the fact
That other folks with less to do than we
Have come up with board games that can compact
Role playing games onto an evening's fun.
And Arkham Horror is my fav'rite one.
