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.
