Poem by Dan Stone
Excuse me?
I've got this game
down to an art.  
I don't need cheers 
or silly grinning.  
Cocks can crow
all they want. 
I know the part 
I'm here to play. 
It's called a Queen,
not someone's pawn.  
I learned the rules
so I can break them. 
Opponents get me stirred
not shaken. 
Call me green
​but that's a word
I've heard from fools
and politicians.  
I place my trust 
in deft magicians' 
grace and grit.
I make my moves
as I see fit. 
I call it winning.
