The field marshal's dreamy and practical, Wages wars both strategic and tactical. His battle groups pour 'Cross the living room floor In wars minuscule and galactical.

QUEEN - QUICK
The King might be quick with a pen But the Queen's even better, as when She wrote fables about Humpty's sad turnabout Despite the King's horses and men.
