Please Don’t Suggest Chess! (Limerick)

I count “chess” among the many things I’m bad at. But to those who enjoy it, happy “American Chess Day!”

I hate losing, so playing a game
That I’m poor at feels foolish and lame,
Which is why I avoid
Playing chess. I’m annoyed
When I look like a dim-witted dame.

    Mad,

    i’ve a couple of granddaughters — 14 & 10, who are game enough to try. it’s been their mom’s lifetime since I played seriously. they both show hope. the older just started at volleyball and looks like she’ll be a contender. the younger is the family artist — we share a love of pens

    ~ himself.

    & keep ’em coming.

    From Mad:

    Said like a proud granddad! Very cool!
