CHESS
Knight’s Queen to Bishop three
The ignorant king decreed
Knowing not the board nor game
Irritated red, readily arrogant
He lets cawing crows fly
Their screech a presage of war
We need balance and check,
Mate; a jester gesture at least
Righteous pawns invoking Hoyle
There are rules to the game
Denied, defied not checked
End in shame and blame
