Kings rule and Bishops herd

Knightly armor is absurd

Queens both hated and are dear

The Rooks rightly left to take up the rear

*

Conned into servitude

Rewarded with an attitude

To compensate and to blame

A pawn is pushed in the game

*

Each maintains their special place

Unless a better takes their space

And within these lines opinions abound

While ignoring the fact the table is round
