Board Games

The snakes are extinct due to housecats
Risk plays out real time
The Mouse in the Trap is a big rat
The Church covered up Rev Green’s crime.

‘Did you mean..?’ crashes
As we scrabble to spell
And caught in a rent trap
You are forced to sell
A kidney and keep up payments as well
No wonder we want an escape

So retreat with some friends to a table
Roll a die, chance a draw, take pot luck
That is…
If the charity shop’s boards’ missing pieces
Didn’t make the games frustrating as fuck
