Ode to Board Games
Scrabble, Monopoly, and Clue as well.
What other games are there? Please, you must tell!
Battleship requires lots of strategy
And the Game of Life is a dose of reality.
The hobby that has been around,
Before you were born, before you made your first sound.
‘Guess Who’ is great for playing with friends.
Is your character Tom? No! Wrong! Guess Again!
Clue is the game of future crimesolvers,
Mr Green! Dining Room! He used the revolver.
You know what else is awesome? Playing cards.
Some games are fun, some games are hard
Board games are the very best way
To have some fun, so seize the day.
Have some fun that isn’t bad,
Play some fun games with siblings, Mom, and Dad.
