Poem

Born With the Magical Touch

I was born with the magical touch
Don't ask me why but it just was
My siblings complained too much
I was a cheater, their lies abuzz.

I won every game fair and square
Strategy and logic worked for me
I loved taking chances on a dare
What I do best is winning easily.

I never revealed my secret touch
Monopoly, Hearts and Scrabble
Cribbage, Chinese Checkers, Chess
Scat, Euchre, Boggles and Baffles.

I was born with the magical touch
But no one wanted to play with me
Sore losers they were, 'twas bad luck
And I became my lonesome company.
