Albert Ahearn Poet Sonnet

Fool's Mate(1. F3.....E5 2.G4.....H4 Mate!)

Unwise for White to push the pawn to three 
exposing royalty to Black's attack. 
With pawn at Bishop three, one must agree  
f3 was not the move to play on Black. 
The Black opponent counters with e5! 
a sure maneuver yielding enterprise. 
His queen has open space and hopes to strive 
to leave her home and head for White's demise. 
The fools deficient understanding, moves 
his pawn obliviously(seals his fate)   
to square g4. A move I disapprove 
of. Black has won the game, h4!... the mate! 
The lesson learned from this experience:
To play a fool at Chess lacks common sense.
