A ply is half
a move in chess.
A trade takes two
plies - one move,
yes. To ply one's
trade means sacrifice
- unless you nip,
and they don't bite!
But if so, check six
moves ahead! They
probably saw some
move instead, and if
you missed it, you'll
get pawn'd.
Or rook'd,
or queen'd
or dead,
or trodden
on.
A Pocketful of Poesy was and is again a Poem-a-Day(-on-Average) Blog! For 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and now for 2017 and going forward, you may expect to see 365 poems every year, 366 for leap years.
but aren't they all random?
