Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for March 21, 2025

“Knight moves (I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember)”

Have gone, will travel.

And it’s not even three dimensional chess.

On his last move he went one block back and two blocks left.

everyone reading this is singing it in his head!

Hey! Doesn’t that house belong to the Pawns?

“Hey you kids, get off my pawn!”

(No further comment.)

Just horsing around eh.

or two blocks sideways and one back, or two blocks backward and on left, or……

And he’s hoping for a big check.

“You’ve always had a problem going straight, haven’t you?”

but he can jump right over fences

He’s moving because the neighbor keeps trying to pull him into a pawnsi scheme

Once the pawn leaves home, he can’t ever go back. Well, unless he’s promoted.

check

crabs walk sideways and lobsters walk straight

Piece out!

That’s definitely no rookie move!

“One pill makes you larger,And one pill makes you small . . . .”

It’d be tough being a bishop. :)
