The Queen and King are standing
One in black and one in white
Blankly ahead they keep staring
Are they ready for the fight?
Yes I will, was their promise
In the days when all was bliss
Today, they stand and shake
All too aware of what’s at stake
The knight approaches, its horse in tow
Is it the end of an era?
When she surrenders her bra,
Their union suffers the last of its blow
Rigid, infertile, they saw it coming
Chess had its shortcomings!
They knew it from the start
All newly wed beware!
Love does not talk the talk
Nor marriage walk the walk
Unless you pave the way
Every day of every year
And do not jump astray
