Like is like
Like is like:
A game of chess;
Be careful with your moves.
Make your moves carefully,
Otherwise you lose.
Black is a master:
Strategic in his plan;
The king always concealed;
Never shows his hand.
Sacrificial pawns:
Taught in the game;
The bishops do his bidding the Queen she lurks and prays.
Black takes out the mighty
Thinking he can win;
The white pawns Reach the other side-
And take out his king.
