'Tis Fair The Queen killed the Rook With no blood on her hands; He was reborn twice into Her mischievous plans. The Rook lived shortly, And killed no one else; And the Queen took the Rook, Or the Rook took himself? The Rook thought to return, The Queen kindly declined; And sought to seek out Pawns from his side. But the pawns stayed away, They've no right in this game; The Knight, black like Queen, Did not feel the Rook's pain! The Knight helped the Queen To enemy detect; And slowly but surely Moved in for the check. But checkmate there was not, For there was no Lord: Black Knight and black Queen, But on separate boards.
