Sorry,
big sis bought this game with bases
we chose plastic warriors, no faces
to leave our homes and run the bounds,
enemy positions all around
sorry
I had to run the circuit quick
and enter home lickity-split
high throw of dice did determine success
low throw meant you had less access
sorry
but I lost patience as I grew
as a famous tamer of the shrew
once back at home base, I had to throw low
and perhaps acknowledge an opponent's blow,
sorry!

Martin - Is this about board games in general, or this actually about the board game called Sorry. We used to have that game when we were kids, but I vaguely remember how to play.

It's been quite a while since I sat around the table with Mom, Dad, sis and brother and played this game...

only after a fashion, we'd start changing the rules around...but I'll bet you've never done that, right

Dave,

it's about the game but there is a twist in the way the name lends itself to the context
of being sorry for not winning the same game..neat huh?

Karilea,

Sorry I didn't change some rules around!
