Beware if you don't want to get checked
I am a knightmare
A pawn when you step
My bishops are a big scare
Bishops are unsaintly
Slaying enemies daily
They sacrifice themselves for a higher cause
I'm playing out this game even though I get no applause

You're a novice when you play
I'm Sun Tzu at his best
That means my strategy can withstand the test
can subdue your mind
and in time you'll find
My thinking's not black or white
It's ornery
Never tip my king
Even if you corner me

The rooke is my home,
defense from those who prey on me
My queen is always loyal
Til the end she stays with me
Til the end she lays with me
My mate til mate
Your hand's reaching for the clock
but it's far too late

And so to end this rhyme let me slow the pace
And drop a heavy message in this empty space
Chess club is coming soon
You can learn to play
Room 285
Monday through Thursday

9th period!
this is my promo rap for the chess club I'm trying to start

i'm alive.
i'm sixteen and smart enough to have realized that i am never going to be as young as i am today.
i am roughly five thousand four hundred and eighty days into my life & i know that that number is never going to get any smaller.

just in the same way that i had my period two years ago & the doctors say
"rooke, it may come as a bit of a disappointment, but you're probably never going to get any taller"
i'm going to stay four foot nine.
and just because that number signifies that i can't ride a roller coaster at six flags
doesn't mean i'm not going to have a good time.
because i've got other things going for me.

— The End —
