Another Day - Another Game of Chess
Sat
down
to the battle last night
pieces lined up on
the board
White vs. Black
First game -
I
tried
an
unusual opening
and triumphed
In the next battle I
went
down
to
defeat
The game can be maddening
so many different choices
like life
I have heard playing it can prevent Alzheimers
Hope the hell it does!
Russians love the game
as do some blacks, Spanish people and yes
Israelis
Perhaps I will look at a chess book tonight
So next time I can trounce my opponent
and feel the rush that victory brings
