poem i quite relate

I hate to play Scrabble with people who babble.
My psyche gets balky when they become talky.
I hate to play Scrabble with people who dabble
In encyclopedias.
I think they are tedious.
I hate to play Scrabble with people who wabble
All over the board until they have scored.
But I love to play Scrabble with my kind of rabble.
We're not erudite but we keep our mouth quite
Shut.
We keep the game moving.
Hell, what are we proving?

- Roz Grossman, ex-NY-tournament-player
