Four-Play

Four corners. Stands, four players. Quarrels of foul cries, collided. Facing each nemesis into quadrants, divided. Individuals motivated by objectives. Devising plans, careful detectives. Goal to achieve the highest rank, careful steps--discriminate. Going by the hit-list, tunnel vision, hindrances must eliminate. Scoping intensely, measuring opponents, methodical evaluation. Staying alert, mind assessment, sedulous investigation. Shrill of the first struck, the red bullet--bounces. Instant reflex, ricochet the shot, violence--denounces. The King may bend the rules, charges swift modification. The Pawns are summoned, critical prosecution. The Bishop prays for the suspects, classified praises, flattery denunciation. The Queen cradles a heart, each beat rebounds, battery probation.
