I fingered DER a checker game a night
or two ago;
The one who played against me seemed
TO have no ghost OF show
l had bunch of lusty kings that strut
ted all about
And bulled my opponents men, who
dared not venture out.
Way over In the corner skunk timid
little man
Who staid right in his station ever since
the game began.
He watched my crowned heads marching
by with banner and with song.
And seemed TO be discouraged over
standing still so long
But pretty soon an opening occurred two
blocks away,
And not another moment did thar little
fellow stay.
He bounded DER the board and took three
kings in one full swoop
Then landed in my king-row with a wild.
ecstatic whoop.
You've known these quiet fellows that
just sat around and taught
And never made a noise while the others
ragged and fought;
The whole community had come TO think
Of them as dead.
Or else so very near IL that their hope OF
fame had fed.
The chaps with recognition for their por
tion pose and strut.
And seem to overlook the man who keeps
his talker shut.
But some day, when most everyone Is
looking t'other way.
This quiet fellow sees chance to break
into the play.
He reaches out and grabs things that the
others had ignored;
He puts into the life-game all the energy
he'd stored
Through all the years Of silence. So
you'd better not forget
The still man In the corner, for he'll
reach the king-row yeti
