Checkmate

He thought that in love games he had the Monopoly,
Shunning the Risk in this Trivial Pursuit.
Old Maids most certainly loved his Diplomacy.
In the Game of Life, he had Patience, to boot.

Some women, like Dominoes, fall for this Mastermind,
He'd baited his Mousetrap, our devious Twister.
Like dumb Hungry Hippos they Snap at the crumbs they find,
Scrabble to be the true love for this mister.

But then comes his nemesis - Bingo! she Snookers him,
Sees through his lies and his petty Charades.
Go! She’s a BattleshipTiddlywinkers him,
Trumps his Operation with sweet fusillades.

She Draughts up a contract, he buys her a Solitaire.
Now Happy Families? Judgement remains.
Stood wielding a Poker, she shows all the players there-
Cheaters beware when you choose indoor games!
