uuuiiie – that’s not fair <br />How can I display my fabulous flair <br />So you think ywkqzjx is better <br />Believe me, this is not a good string of letters <br /> <br />A few consonants and vowels is all I ask <br />So that I am not given such an impossible task <br />uuuiiie – what kind of joke is this? <br />This game is not one that I’ll reminisce <br /> <br />There’s nowhere to go, the board’s all blocked <br />Into Scrabble hell we’ve all been locked <br />There’s Double Words galore way over there <br />But we’ve got all tightened up in this little square <br /> <br />I thought playing Scrabble was supposed to be fun <br />With letters like jxinaing, wtaiesr or tuodone <br />Placing them down on the board with élan <br />Seven letters at once, strategically planned! <br /> <br />Covering two triple word boxes all in one go <br />Then you could just sit there happily and crow <br />But what’s with this uuuiiie <br />I’d rather be falling over and skinning my knee <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2007)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/uuuiiie-humour/
