L

Tetris is her bag, and she is good
Maybe not as good as her dad is,
But then again, I really think she could
Be up there if he hadn't had gee whiz
All his adult life playing more than her.
If she were in her fifties and had played
The game from now 'til then, I might prefer
Her odds against him. As it is, to grade
Her down for losing by some fifty lines
Over five minutes of intensity
Is too unfair. She's showing all the signs
Of skill, made serious by fixity
And willingness to go the extra mile
Playing handheld Tetris all the while.
