Risk

Pieces green and yellow tumble out;

The map is laid; the boxes closed.

In Greenland green is placed,

And yellow down in Congo.

Green has Great Britain

And Siam is yellow,

While neutral piles out

Blue as usual.

Green calls out attack.

Dices roll out, six to two,

Yellow has lost; Brazil is gone.

Blue is attacked on Iceland,

Which is too small for a pile of armies.

Yellow has Asia, except for Japan,

Which neutral is owning.

Green has America,

Even down to the south.

The battle is risky,

But blue doesn’t mind.

This poem is... i don't know what I want to say, really... it's really cool though. I like how it's simple, and homey, and something else but anyway I really liked it. :)
