The Philosophy of Bingo at a Nursing Home

image

It’s not about winning –

although that’s nice too –

it’s about following rules,

being helpful to neighbors who

can’t hear, can’t see, or can’t understand

It’s hopeful anticipation,

statring over, having a

lucky number,

lucky rabbit’s foot,

lucky socks

It’s about community and

friendships – losing but not

giving up

It’s diversion, escape,

fun
