when ordering the life-sized set  
I had a minor typo  
The queen, the knights were little sweat  
The elephant was hypo

but as it turns, there was an error  
in how we spelled the "rook"  
and we discovered it, in terror  
when the whole building shook

the game of course did not proceed  
the queen threw out some cake  
the pawns made haste, with every speed  
the king escaped, the rake

as for the bishops, should I say  
they didn't do too well  
although the rocs that came to play  
said that the meal was swell
