Checkmate
Here's a little doodle,
I drew my self.
I see a chess board,
And every piece,
I'm afraid to move.
If I'm going to play the game,
I must place my name.
Am I a king, a queen?
well, I did sing:
A rook, pawn, bishop,
I’m a knight,
That sounds right.
Every move,
It makes me want to faint,
Is this a trait or mental illness state?
Now I'll fall,
But,
If I control my destiny,
I can't stall.
Checkmate!
I'll take a prostitute at this rate.
In the end,
It doesn't matter,
If you're sane or plane,
Just that you played the game.
