You know it was REALLY late... (edited)

edit: ElGuero has fessed up that he was the collaborator. So, he is no longer anonymous... Brave man... hehe 

 

Ok... you're going to get a peek into the bizarre minds of moi (and ElGuero)...

The following is a song composition that another player (who, for his sake, I will leave anonymous, except we now know it was ElGuero... hehe) and I came up with VERY late one night, when, as he put it, "the crazy was beginning to set in." (About 2 AM for me, and 5 AM for him.)

It's not complete, and it certainly lacks poetic meter, but it was hilarious... at least at the time it was...

Whatever you do, forget what you're about to read.

Sung to the Sound Of Music tune, My Favourite Things...

(EG) Raindrops and roses and whiskers on kittens,

(clay) chessboards and diamonds and golf links and mittens,

(EG) Great golden chessboards tied up with strings,

These are a few of my favourite things.

 

(clay) When the pawn strikes,

When the queen stings,

When the rook is bad,

(EG) I simply remember I’ve still got my king,

And then I don’t feel sooo baaaddd...

 

Move over Rogers and Hammerstein. Maybe, more like roll over (in their graves) Rogers and Hammerstein... Embarassed

Hahahaha. Bravo boys. My only advice is to change the word Rook to Bishop - as "bad bishops" is a real thing in chess, whereas "bad" rooks aren't so much. Line three of the last stanza...

Great work though. Definitely worth a chuckle. Thanks for posting.
