Hard Scrabble

 

It's a word game

for people who like words

the object of the game

is to make big words

and score big points

and humiliate your opponent

so they never play again

it's a lot like poker

it depends on what you're dealt

and your cunning and shrewdness

in defeating your foe

to the best of your ability

if you don't draw good tiles

you don't win

then prepare for misery

when the game is over

and the whole game is relived again

as if once was not enough

if you're wife is playing against you

you are doubly challenged

what are you going to do

win and make her mad?

it's a hard decision

a hard scrabble life.

Keep a few words up your sleeve
Keep a few words close to your heart
Borrow a few words from a poem
Use kind words if you know them.
