BIBLE-CHESS 

   The game of Bible-Chess, Is strictured, factored, terse, A shameless bribe, no less, With Scripture, chapter, verse. 

   Long past, checkered pages, Portray a sinful field, Throngs vast, sectored ages, At bay, all win or yield. 

   Chords now held, weighed, compared, Chess major piece or minor, Words how veiled, stayed, some shared, His Image, or this high-lore?

My man, my kitty and me. We'll make one beautiful family...meow...meow.
