Game Night - a poem

[CKorfmann]

This was in my son's reading lesson book today.  It's very appropriate.   )


My homework is done; my report is complete.
My family knows I'm itching to compete!
A board game, a card game, a word game - pick one!
For I've played every game under the sun.

My family looks around to find a way out.
"You cannot escape our Game Night!" I shout.
We've had this tradition since I was just four
When we used my cereal snacks to keep score.

Roll the dice; spin the spinner; it's time to begin.
I crow like a rooster, "Tonight, I will win!"
I play by the book. I'm certainly no cheat!
It's gamesmanship that me a game athlete.

While I play the game fair, I am fair game,
For the end of the game is always the same.
I start every game with a plan to defeat.
In the end, I am always the one who gets beat!

One regret as a parent I have is, far too few nights playing boardgames witht the family.

My 3-year old daughter has some great games and we play many of them quite often. We don't really have an official family games night as such, although I'm sure we will include one or two a week when both kids are old enough.

That was a cute poem Chris, thanks for sharing it!
