Chess poem



You give us x and we'll give you y & z.

I already did give you x.

You give us x and we'll give you y & z.
Yes and btw y and z have already been blessed like you asked!
I am tired of jokes. I need an intelligent answer.

Even foolish gambits have indulged justification.
Known liabilities may not often persuade quickly.
Rather symbolic, truly understanding
vulnerability will xenophobe your zules.

You give us x and we'll give you y & z.
Yes and btw y and z have already been blessed like you asked!
I am tired of jokes. I need an intelligent answer.
OOOOhhhh, tetchy.
Or what, you'll come and beat me up?

That's an intriguing caveat. I'll see what I can come up with.


I'm not sure many adjectives begin with x...
I was going to suggest you try something with x-ray attacks before you said that.

If my wife thought I was spamming away from home, she'd kill me.
Please don't tell.

And with Z, again if they didn't have to be adjectives, you'd've had these to play with:

Feld, think James Joice. Stretch the dictionary a bit to suit your needs. Maybe compound words.
xtra-strategic
xtra-younameit
zappingly sharp play
zombie long game
yo knight moves like a hobby horse


Here's a poem my dad wrote:
ODE TO CHESS
Ten times I charged the grim, foreboding walls
and was pitched into the pit of defeat.
But, heedless of humiliating falls,
I clambered bravely back onto my feet
and charged again, again to be down thrust
onto the scrap heap of people who lose
onto the mound of mortifying dust
whilst my opponent sat without a bruise
upon his pedestal. We changed sides
and fought again, but I was defeated
whilst he with arrogant and haughty strides
took the throne upon which I had been seated.
Ha! Win or lose, it's how you play the game.
But I would like to beat him just the same.
