know I’m slim,
not too thin,
slim on that part,
I know we both are smart
and we always win
why?
I have to admit
I’m a bit shy,
‘but God gave me this talent,
to play this as a complement,
but due to corona times,
the churchbells do not chime,
finally I am here
for that chessplay
according to you in a way
and yes! !
you and I play chess,
we are both almost on top!
but….. we flopped
No shame,
because we both
play this game
not as our daily
job,
trust me, you and I are still on top
and leisurely worldwide,
through our free time-poemsite,
ah, dear Kim,
don’t you want to confess?
that YOU are the King of Chess? !
and few poets have ever known or seen
that I am the Chess Queen….!
this chess poem is humorous and above all friendly,
next to our beloved,
this game is a bygone time every time

During Corona times in my country
I play more chess o.n.l.i.n.e.
than give o.n.l.i.n.e. lectures to my brilliant students,
keep up the courage, you will soon be able to go back to the university to get LIVE lectures!
