Opening Moves
King pawn-to-king-four
is a move of pawns,
Queen pawn-to-queen-three
is one response,
Just two moves that
start a warring game,
And these starting moves
are not the same.
Yet these moves
have silently set the space,
And the two players
now have to pace,
Each will try to
win, not make a mess,
In this splendid
thinking game of chess.
And so for us the
first move of the day,
Can determine the
rest of the way,
For always so we
should start off well,
To have a nice
ending tale to tell.
