Checkerboard Queen

The checkerboard queen was choosy about who she would play. Her game pieces were expensive, she did not want them taken away. She had her suspicions about so many players that it was crazy. She especially did not like playing with those who were lazy. What about Toby, Stew, Rutherford, Richard Charlie or Grease? Have any of them ever upset you? Have they taken a token or piece? The checkerboard queen quickly and methodically put her pieces away. This is not the time, I am not doing any more playing today.
