I moved my rook towards the king and thoughtfully touched my nose

His rook took steps towards my Queen to offer her a rose

This move so bold took me aback

Was he planning to attack?

So I moved my bishop, in a sideways shift

He took hold of it and gave it a lift

This was to be his greedy fate

As I moved towards his king and with a cry

Shouted out loud a triumphant “checkmate”
