My Dad loved board games
Ludo, Snakes & Ladders
Monopoly, Top Hat
Even more than that
he adored card games
Twos and Eights, Bondebridge
Sprøyte, Katt
Even more than that
he liked winning
Gleefully, he'd announce
an assful of trump cards
and take every trick
with four little kids
round-eyed or in tears
What did this teach us?
Oh, nothing of life skills
or gamesmanship
Only that Dad was happy
to play with us, he'd take defeat
quite well, but Lord! he loved a win!
