Donna Earnhardt sent this fun poem-

He and me
   and me and he
Playing checkers by the sea


"I jumped your king!"

     "Don't mean a thing!"

"I took two men"

     "I took ten!"

"I'm in a groove..."

     "Then make a move."

"HA! I win."

     "by the hair of your chin."

He and me
and me and he
playing again - best two of three!
