CHESS WALTZ

The King and Queen were arguing
about which way to go,
the pawns were dancing all around,
and running to and fro.

The Knights were sleepy,
the Rooks were sad,
so when the Bishops pushed on past,
both were feeling bad.

Across the squares the Pawns did skate,
The Bishops chasing after,
While Knights, now wide awake,
shouted, "faster! Faster!"

The Rooks dodged left,
the Rooks dodged right,
but there they went--
straight through the fight!
