Favorite word game on shiny wooden chips
they cross each other, yet not to anger;
each letter holds points that when added, sum
for each word formed, there is a rule of thumb.

woe is me, I must accumulate a final score
I should be content that words come galore
each letter carries its weight for a final tally
play the game correctly, do not dwell or dally.

beware of those that seek to use your word
to build theirs, and build upon they insue.
do not leave your flanks open for conjecture
favorite word chip game based on info accrued.


Of the table games created some survive
of the favorite word creations we contrive,
beware of those that usurp your final word
play the game correctly,you will then be heard.

Scrabble indeed!  Very clever.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig
