ONE MORE GAME WITH SANTA

Checkmate Santa, that’s the game
None better have I played
Of all the humans I have met
with rackets, dice or poker bets

Santa, you’ve a brilliant mind,
Close to the caliber of mine
Planning plays ten turns ahead
You’re just what they always said

Santa, one more game before you go
One red candle burnin low
The reindeer and the elves all know
You can't resist a game of wits
they’ll wait while you’re here below
one more game and I’ll let you go

The earth can be a sorry place,
but there’s one thing that makes me stay
I love these games that humans play,
Come on Santa, make my day

Rarely have I met my match
in this world of men and cats
Oh to encounter now and then an intellect, a true sportsman

Santa, one more game before you go
One green candle burnin lo
The reindeer and the elves all know
You can't resist a game of wits
they’ll wait while you’re here below
one more game and I’ll let you go

My chimney shook, I watched in interest
Santa came out checking his wrist
He said I have some extra time
Shall we play for a little while

I thank the twinkling stars above me
The one called god might even love me
Santa knew the gift I wanted
Was a night of competition

Santa, one more game before you go
One green candle burnin low
The reindeer and the elves all know
You can't resist a game of wits
they’ll wait while you’re here below
one more game and I’ll let you go

I know the gift you want the most
Is to play chess with a virtuoso
It just so happens I am one
I am the North Pole champion

The summers can be long and slow
In the far reaches of the north pole
The elves are cunning sharp and quick
They’ve taught me all manner of Strategic tricks
