Life on g2 - by kingspasski

I used to live on g2 until the King moved me to g3..
I did not like it out on the third rank at first as I felt a little bit lonely. I was glad to see the Kings Bishop move into my old home on g2
Then, my best friend "Trojan" who lives on g1 jumped with all his might and came crashing down next to me on f3
That was shortly followed by the great King and his palace exchanging places and we all exchanged smiles.
It seems I was the only promoted Pawn but I was not afraid as i still had 2 other pawns next to me on f2 and h2 who's names are too hard for me to remember so i call them leftfield and rightfield.
Leftfield amuses me a lot when he claims he is taller than me and rightfield is very tough and is very eager to head straight into enemy territory with his face in an angry pull.
Sometimes I pretend I am as tough as rightfield but leftfield always says "you're such a dreamer and you're so small the opposing King simply can not see you"....
"Ah, but I did once checkmate the opposing King. Have you ever done that Leftfield? hmmm?? I guess not! oh well!"
Leftfield is so funny. I sometimes roll around on the floor laughing and that's when our good King gets a little angry and calls me "J'doube" and orders me to steady myself and be prepared.
We talk to each other a lot and make jokes but sometimes things can get a little more serious and sometimes it can be very scary.....
Like when the Good king moved me to g4 in my previous life, I did not like it one little bit and it was very scary.
One day I will be a guard elsewhere on the chessboard but as for now I am happy on g2. g3 is not such a bad place to be neither but sometimes the good king exchanges places with the Palace on the good Queen's side of the battleground. I don't like it and I don't want it to happen again. In fact I would rather not talk about it.
Someday I will be bigger and stronger like my friend Rightfield and I will probably be promoted to g4 again and I will try my very best to checkmate the bad King ( the one who does not like me and my friends)
