Ten chess players
All feeling fine
But one went to hospital
And then there were nine.
Nine chess players
Staying out late
One went to see his dad
And then there were eight.
Eight chess players
Feeling under stress
Another took sick
Leaving them one less.
Seven chess players,
Getting up to tricks
One couldn’t get off work
And then there were six.
Six chess players
Bemoaning their sad fate
Found two newcomers
Which brought it back to eight.
Eight chess players
Finally took the floor
Did their very, very best
Scored three wins and a draw.
And that, folks, is the story of our matches against Rose Forgrove’s E and F teams on 19 October.
