I'M A JOKER

I'M A JOKER

I'm a joker.
I'm an evil queen.
I'm a gamer.
I play games with
People as mere pawns.
Jump, jump, jump
And you're gone.
Move a space and
You're caught in a trap.
Back and forth we go.
I have the expertise.
I have the ambition.
I have the board.
I'm cunning.
I'm devious.
I'm always the winner.

HIS PLACE

The sun begins to set.
There are scurrying sounds
as the animals prepare for the night.
But the old elephant stands in his place.
He doesn’t need to move.
He has everything he needs
right in front of him.
He keeps a watchful eye
on the other animals.
But he stands in his place.
