Chess Poem 07: John Glenn Beat Me At Ten Poem by Kim Barney
Chess Poem 07: John Glenn Beat Me At Ten
This is John Glenn.
Not the astronaut,
but the chess player.
He defeated me in
round one of the Southern
Idaho Open Chess
Tournament.
I set a cool trap for him,
but he refused to fall in.
When the chess game was done
I had lost and John had won.
