3rd in the 'Play On Words 2021' competition

Hi, my name is James.
I love to play video games.
From iPad to Xbox to PS4,
Every game you know,
I can name them all.
My mum complains badly I drive her insane,
watching me fighting Zombies in the fast lane.
With her angry face and hands on hips,
fiery wrath gushing out of her lips:
"When will you ever be tamed?"
"No more excuses that are lame!”
"Do your homework before you play!”
“Oh please! Let me game for a while..." I pray.
Then mum bribes me with yummy ice cream,
while we watch Netflix on video stream,
so I'll happily swap gaming in my dreams...
