Chess

CHESS Frank Halliwell The king, the Queen, the Knight, the Pawn. All wonder where their friends have gone! The Bishop from his church will stray It can't be done another way! And down the side a stealthy Rook Attacks from cover, by the book! Protect the King, up goes the shout! We'll turn the castle inside out! Boots clatter loudly down the halls And echo from its granite walls Let down the drawbridge, close the gate! All drawn and quartered be his fate! For if we find him here within He will pay dearly for his sin King's knights surround the castle's moat And prod its surface from a boat. But fate is fickle as we know The Kingdom's struck a mortal blow A knight hidden behind the gate Captures the King, so it's checkmate!! ***
