Scrabble Finale

Submitted by sueb on Mon, 2012-12-03 10:19

The exciting, nail-biting finale
Oh, playing time has finally arrived
Family competition of Scrabble
Ah, over dictionaries we have strived
It often finishes in a squabble
Someone’s vocabulary has nose-dived
Tommy's poor lip quivering and trembles
All because Robbie chanted, mocked and jived
The whole table begins to dissemble
An argument from where the word derived
Oh dear, watching all good spirit crumble
Hopefully, harmony can be revived
Next time, one of these ideas I hatch
I'll cut to the chase, have a boxing match

the rhyme here. The rhythm was not the best, but I figure that the story makes up for it. ~ Geezer
