Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Chess Whiz

Used to be a whiz at chess way back when
Not a world class player but enjoyed myself, no end
Losing wasn't an option
That proved a problem
Had to be restrained, d'ya know what I'm sayin'?

Daniel Turner May 1, 2021 at 5:33 PM Hey Jack! Wonderful to see you back. I was really sad when I thought you had left for good. I can see you as maybe a "chest" player. You seem to be too much fun for chess. Thanks for sticking around old friend:) Jack Ellison May 1, 2021 at 7:20 PM Thank you, Daniel! Much appreciated for the good words! Going to slow down a bit though! Cheers my friend!

Kim Merryman May 1, 2021 at 9:19 AM You sound like my dad. He loved to play chess and tennis, and he didn't like to lose. I don't know if he got mad over chess but he lost his cool several times when playing tennis. Blessings, Kim M Jack Ellison May 1, 2021 at 11:07 AM Hi Kim! Sounds exactly like me! LOL Thanks for dropping my Love, Happy Jack XOX
