Playing Scrabble
P lacing lettered tiles upon a board,
L etters assigned points to be scored.
A ssessing the most advantageous plays,
Y ikes! What can I do with all "E's, "I's" and "A's"?
I ntense concentration is the norm,
N eeding desparately for words to form,
G reedy for the highest score.
S pelling words from seven tiles,
C ounting points with groans and smiles.
R elishing each and every chance,
A t besting your opponent's advance.
B rain challenging excercise endured,
"B egging your pardon, that's not a word!"
L etters dwindling one by one,
E xciting finish - Hey, I won!
