English poem
But helpless Pieces of the Game bestowed
by Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
But helpless Pieces of the Game bestowed Upon the Checker-board of Hill and Road; Hither and Thither moved and sped and stopped, And One by One back to the Garage towed.
The Car no Question makes of Ayes or Noes, But Here or There as strikes its Fancy goes. But the Bystander, offering Advice, He knows about it all—He knows—HE KNOWS!
