The WDC Game of Thrones was much more than just a game. It was a powerful life lesson.
Wisdom Gains
some Seussical satire
Carol St. Ann


Unnat'ral jitters for this game of thrones.
I'm thrust into a world of orcs and drones
and promised wisdom hitherto for me,
I'm told this game will alter History.

Oh, simple fun when I was but a child
The candy, ladders, checkers, deuces wild.
But now I'm charged with cunning like a fox
who mocks a game so trite within a box.

Not fairness play, but won with trickery
I fear this game may bring some bickery!
And now my home on Internet's defiled
Alas, I should have stayed a little child.



My intent - please let me know when and where I falter.
couplets in quatrains
iambic pentameter
masculine rhyme
perfect rhyme
(and 1 imperfect rhyme?)
bickery: I made it up. It means discontentment leading to bickering.
