The Q Blues

a poem about Scrabble

I just drew

The tardy Q

And the board

Has locked up

Each bloody U

And the blank

Has long been used

This one just might

Cost me its

Value times two

As my chances

Are by their

Nature few

I've got the Q blues

Laughing here....I, too, have had the Q Blues. I play word games on the computer and sometimes they have a Q in the puzzle without a U....drives me batty! Very cute, Jim. Lydi****
