Scrabble

Letters cast in bronze,
and rack, and rows.
The spelling goes,
and flows like liquid English,
wet and fast.
Cunning like hot metal, cast.

A pi is edible.
Qi is credible.
Aim to out fox an ox,
or quiz a qadi.

Tiles grasped,
jiggled.
A pink one in the middle.
Fumble a jay or kay.
Out geek a Greek with xi,
or try do, re, mi for size.
An ess begins to take the prize.
Eight letters unravel,
the minds of those who dabble
with Scrabble.
