PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You always try to find excuses

to get away with it

and people wanna know

what I was doing all night

with that young lady

who followed me up to my room

Of course, it isn’t what you think

I happened to have had

my game of scrabble handy

so we went up to the room

to play a game of scrabble.

She had a few choice words

to throw on the board

I, of course, responded

with careful linguistic skill

words on the tip of the tongue

were formed from letter

laid out on the board

Words entwined;

skillful syllabic juxtaposition

She matched me word for word

letter for letter

It was a vigorous game

of intellectual stimulation

which left us exhausted

It ended in a stalemate, too,

which leaves the door open

for a rematch at a later date

to finally determine a winner.
