Chess

The game of strategy 

I play for love! 

My name once meant 

a squire to the knight

Greatest jouster I am

master swordsman too

Once knight legendary

of round table, now of

square of squares

I may be weaker than

the bishop, perhaps

I may neither penetrate 

fortress of a castle;

Beware my king!

Protect your queen!

for I gallop at two and a half

to swiftly snatch your mate

in your final check

The game of strategy

I play for love!
