Scrabble

The thing about scrabble, Is one should never burst a bubble, Accept the tiles that fall your way, In lieu of falling affray. A Z in your rack, Now to plan your attack, A triple letter you see, Please keep it for me. A blank in your stock, Now I'm ahead of the flock, A bingo in mind, Now where can I find? My opponent not grinning, Now that I am winning, No more tiles in the bag, But I am trying not to brag, I play the last tiles on my rack, But is that enough? A close game in the end, But always a friend, Win, lose or draw, I extend It's the company, I savour, As scrabble will never go out of favour. By Michael Robinson - my Nephew

I absolutely love scrabble, we play at least twice a week with hubby, you have to have your wits about you and try to plan your strategy at least two moves ahead. Lovely poem,Blessings, Jennifer.

Tell your nephew that his poem is terrific, indeed. A lovely Light Verse, it put a smile on my face, in these times that are becoming difficult and in need. Stay well and safe. JC Hawkens

I discovered Scrabble during the lockdown . My wife though was once married to the South African Scrabble Champion who is now the New Zealand champion. Not surprisingly I have yet to win a single game. But I am learning a lot of two letter words. Kind wishes, Kai

Thanks for reading my Nephew's poem. Iam sure that would interest him. Glad you found a new outlet during lockdown. I am more of a chess person myself. Keep posting David in NZ.
