Joe Flach Poet Rhyme

The Scrabble Challenge

Seven blanks in Scrabble
Might seem like a beautiful thing
Any seven letter word you can think of
It could be almost anything

But no matter how fancy that you get
No matter how rare or weird the word
Each blank tile gets you zero points
A zero point word – oh, how absurd

So there really is no TROUBLE
Trying too hard you can NEGLECT
Because your score will still be NOTHING
Even if the word you spell is PERFECT
