BOARD GAMES
Oh good! You’ve landed
On Mayfair, and I have built
Lots of houses there.
Four As from the bag
Have poor Marie scrabbling
For the dictionary.
Irkutsk to Yakutsk?
Risky move. I rolled with it,
But how bad it proved.
Trivial Pursuit?
Yes please! The thrill as cartwheels
Fill with coloured cheese.
In the study stood
Professor Plum, lead pipe in
Hand, the foul deed done.
In the library
Miss Scarlett confessed, spoiling
It for all the rest.
Jane was to blame for
The very short game; she built
Houses on Park Lane.
